{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-the-classic-quartet-remastered-vinyl","title":"Thelonious Monk - The Classic Quartet (Remastered) Vinyl LP (708857355112)","description":"At the time of this recording, Thelonious Monk was at both a creative and critical peak.  He had recently signed with Columbia Records, notably one of the biggest jazz labels in the world at the time, and the following year became the third jazz musician in history to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.\r\n\r\nThe Classic Quartet is comprised of Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone, Butch Warren on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums.  The recording captures what is undoubtedly one of the very best sets of the era.  The songs, classic Monk repertoire, will be familiar to any Monk fan.  That includes what is by all accounts an exceptional version of one of Monk’s favorite standards, “Just A Gigolo.”\r\n\r\nThis recording is the audio portion of a television show recorded in Tokyo during Monk’s 1963 tour of Japan.  Not to be confused with the live album of that same 1963 tour, Monk In Tokyo, released on Columbia Records.  It also should be noted that the recordings here were previously released as Thelonious Monk 1963 Japan, at various times, by various labels.  \r\n\r\nThis version has been remastered by Award Winning Engineer Bernie Grundman.  It is the first time this album has been released on vinyl in over 35 years.\n\nA1. Epistrophy 5:43\r A2. Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are 8:47\r A3. Evidence 8:48\r B1. Just A Gigalo 3:17\r B2.
