More Monk virtuosity, classy and elegant.

We Say...
Even with acres of live Monk available, this May, 1963, transcription from a Japanese TV appearance stands tall. Bassist Butch Warren had just joined the quartet for a three-year run, and while on this early date he lacks the finesse of Monkian predecessors like Oscar Pettiford and John Ore (on "Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are" he mostly just walks the basic line during his solo), he and longstanding drummer Frankie Dunlop give the five tunes here a hard push that Monk and especially saxophonist Charlie Rouse respond to vigorously. Rouse is in drily garrulous good form during "Ba-Lue," like a long-winded storyteller whose embellishments you never get tired of, while the leader's solo on a slow-drag "Blue Monk" makes off-harmonic pensiveness seem positively giddy. And his piano-only "Just a Gigolo" is murmur-to-yelp virtuosity no fan should miss.
