Thelonious Monk: At Newport 1963 Vinyl LP

"The legendary Thelonious Monk's appearance at the legendary Newport festival in 1963 when the so-called 'High Priest of Bop' brought one of his greatest quartets featuring master Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Butch Warren on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums. This is a great performance based on five of Monk's classic compositions: 'Criss Cross', 'Light Blue', 'Nutty', 'Blue Monk', and 'Epistrophy'. This is pure Monk's essence, don't miss it." - Naked Lunch
