Monk In Tokyo [Audiophile Vinyl]

Thelonious Monk Quartet - Monk In Tokyo [2LP Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Import]

The 1963 tour with appearances in Japan and the resulting album offered the same old works, but the solidly played favorites such as "Just A Gigolo" or "I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You" made the audience and record collectors alike sit up and listen. And weren't "Blue Monk", "Epistrophy" and "Bemsha Swing" old favorites too - often played and often heard? Happy memories, then, for those Japanese fans who were in Tokyo's Sankei Hall on 21 May 1963! And happy listeners in 2016 too, when they add this LP to their collection. What more does a Monk fan (and who isn't) want?
