Clark Terry Quartet With Thelonious Monk • In Orbit

Review by Scott Yanow
One of Thelonious Monk's rare appearances as a sideman is on this quartet set led by flügelhornist Clark Terry. With bassist Sam Jones and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Terry and pianist Monk perform a set that surprisingly has only one Monk song ("Let's Cool One"). Among the high points of this spirited, boppish date are Terry's "One Foot in the Gutter" and "Argentia."

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Una de las raras apariciones de Thelonious Monk como sideman es en este set de cuarteto liderado por el flügelhornista Clark Terry. Con el bajista Sam Jones y el batería Philly Joe Jones, Terry y el pianista Monk interpretan un set que sorprendentemente sólo tiene una canción de Monk ("Let's Cool One"). Entre los puntos álgidos de esta animada y boppish cita están "One Foot in the Gutter" y "Argentia" de Terry.
