Kanada Kev Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 http://bit.ly/hSIKa3 Thelonious Monk – Monk’s Dream (2002 Remaster) Monk’s Dream is the Columbia Records debut release featuring the Thelonious Monk Quartet: Monk (piano), Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), John Ore (bass), and Frankie Dunlop (drums). Jazz scholars and enthusiasts alike also heralded this combo as the best Monk had been involved with for several years. Although he would perform and record supported by various other musicians, the tight — almost telepathic — dimensions that these four shared has rarely been equalled in any genre. By the early ’60s, bop had become considered passé by artists as well as fans looking for the next musical trend. This is coupled with the fact that discerning Monk fans would have undoubtedly recognized many of these titles from several live recordings issued at the end of his tenure on Riverside. Not to belabor the point, however, but precious few musicians understood the layer upon layer of complexities and challenges that Monk’s music created. On tracks such as “Five Spot Blues†and “Bolivar Blues,†Rouse and Dunlop demonstrate their uncanny abilities by squeezing in well-placed instrumental fills, while never getting hit by the unpredictable rhythmic frisbees being tossed about by Monk. Augmenting the six quartet recordings are two solo sides: “Just a Gigolo†and “Body and Soul.†Most notable about Monk’s solo work is how much he retained the same extreme level of intuition throughout the nearly two decades that separate these recordings from his initial renderings on Prestige in the late ’40s. Monk’s Dream is recommended, with something for every degree of Monk enthusiast. – Lindsay Planer mp3@320 Tracklist 01 Monk’s Dream (Take 8) (6:26) 02 Body And Soul (Re-Take 2) (4:28) 03 Bright Mississippi (8:36) 04 Blues Five Spot (3:14) 05 Blue Bolivar Blues (Take 2) (7:31) 06 Just A Gigolo (2:28) 07 Bye-Ya (5:23) 08 Sweet And Lovely (7:52) 09 Monk’s Dream (Take 3) (5:14) 10 Body And Soul (Take 1) (5:05) 11 Bright Mississippi (Take 3) (10:20) 12 Blue Bolivar Blues (Take 1) (6:12) http://bit.ly/hSIKa3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Joni Mitchell, Hejira. Seriously people, I don't know how many more times I have to tell you: if you don't own this, you have a serious hole in your record collection. Even if you aren't a big Joni Mitchell fan. C'mon, get your shit togther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
