  • I could not believe that monk made this in 1942, but here is the proof!!! Wow.

  • Ooooh, it give me a thrill!

  • Me too, a nice surprise. Original title was "Fly Right". Truly, a recording that was years ahead of its time

  • There's also a great version on RCA Victor by Kenny Clarke and his 52nd Street Men from 1945-1946(?).

    Awesome stuff!!!

  • AMAZING, I thought Monk was the first to record this, in the late-1940s for Blue Note - WOW!

  • Yes that's right. Recorded before the 1942-44 recording ban. Definitely BOP. Notice how the other trumpet player, Joe Guy (not Cootie) deliberately avoids major scales. A classic

  • Great recording, fantastic solos by Ken Kersey (piano) and Joe Guy (trp) - one of the earliest Bebop tunes!

    Thank you!
