Description
This is for a single LP - multi-color splatter #1881/2000 (clear with black and pink) press of Thelonious Monk's Palais Des Beaux arts (1963) which includes the concert poster.
Palais Des Beaux-Arts 1963 is unearthed Belgian concert-recordings from Thelonious Monk. The show consisted of two parts: both were recorded by the national Belgian broadcast company BRT/RTB who had the best recording-equipment on the market at the time. It was the first time Thelonious Monk played the prestigious Palais des Beaux-Arts venue in Brussels to an enthusiastic crowd of Belgian Jazz fans. The quartet delivers their set with true tight mastership (mixed with Monk’s trademark improvisational avant-garde flair) and leaving room for a jaw dropping minute long drum solo mid-set. All this...and as an encore, the famous Monk solo rendition of the classic song “Just a Gigolo”…make this a must-have for any self-respecting Jazz aficionado.
Tidal Waves Music presents the FIRST ever vinyl release (these recordings were never issued on ANY format before) of Thelonious Monk Palais Des Beaux-Arts 1963. This unique piece of musical history is a collaboration between the Tidal Waves Music label, the VRT (Flemish Radio and Television organization) and Bozar (Centre for Fine Arts Brussels) with full approval of the Thelonious Monk Estate. This concert album also comes with an exact reproduction of the original concert poster from 1963.
