THE THELONIOUS MONK QUARTET-MONK'S DREAM 1963 COLUMBIA RECORDS LP CS 8765 IN A STRONG VG+ CONDITION. CLEAN VINYL!! One of the greats of jazz piano in this auction on his first release for Columbia Records, it's a stunner with a hold on to your hat musicianship throughout. Wikipedia tells the story much better than I:
Monk's Dream is the first album jazz musician Thelonious Monk released on Columbia Records. It was issued in 1963. [1]
"Bye-Ya" and "Bolivar Blues" were recorded on October 31, 1962; "Body and Soul" and "Bright Mississippi" on November 1; "Sweet and Lovely", "Just a Gigolo" and "Monk's Dream" on November 2; and "Five Spot Blues" on November 6.
"Bright Mississippi" is the only track on the album that Monk had not previously recorded.
"Bolivar Blues" was originally titled "Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues-are", and had been on Monk's 1957 Riverside album, Brilliant Corners.
"Five Spot Blues" was originally called "Blues Five Spot" and had first appeared on the album Misterioso, which was recorded live at the Five Spot Cafe in New York in 1958 and released on Riverside.
"Monk's Dream", "Bye-Ya", and "Sweet and Lovely" had also been previously recorded by Monk for Prestige Records at a session ten years earlier.
The record is in an easy VG+ condition, nice and clean, not a stretch at all to even say a VG++. The cover has minor wear along the edges and mild rubs on the corners. The original inner sleeve is intact. A terrific buy!!
$3 freight. US sales only!!
