Thelonious Monk • At The Blackhawk

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Thelonious Monk's 1960 quartet (which also includes tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist John Ore and (for a brief period) drummer Billy Higgins is augmented on this live session by two guests: trumpeter Joe Gordon and the tenor of Harold Land. The extra horns uplift the date and add some surprising moments to what otherwise might have been a conventional but still spirited live session. Highlights include "Let's Call This," "Four in One" and a swinging version of "I'm Getting Sentimental over You."

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El cuarteto de Thelonious Monk de 1960 (que también incluye al saxofonista tenor Charlie Rouse, al bajista John Ore y (durante un breve periodo) al batería Billy Higgins) se ve aumentado en esta sesión en directo por dos invitados: el trompetista Joe Gordon y el tenor de Harold Land. Los vientos adicionales elevan la fecha y añaden algunos momentos sorprendentes a lo que, de otro modo, podría haber sido una sesión en directo convencional pero animada. Destacan "Let's Call This", "Four in One" y una versión swing de "I'm Getting Sentimental over You".
