Our Take

Thelonious Monk, the legendary jazz pianist and composer, may have left this mortal realm in 1982, but his musical legacy lives on in the recently unearthed Live In Montreal 1965 Vol. 2. Recorded during a magical night in Canada, this album captures Monk and his quartet at the peak of their powers, weaving intricate melodies and playful improvisations in a way that only they could.

From the moment Monk's fingers touch the keys, you know you're in for a wild ride. His uniquely eccentric style is on full display here, with every note feeling like a surprise waiting to be unravelled. The quartet's chemistry is palpable, with each member feeding off the other's energy and pushing the boundaries of what jazz can be.

The standout track has to be the epic rendition of "Blue Monk", which sees Monk and his bandmates trading solos with reckless abandon. The energy is infectious, and you can almost feel the sweat dripping off their brows as they push themselves to new heights.

In conclusion, Live In Montreal 1965 Vol. 2 is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. It's a testament to Monk's genius and a reminder of why he's considered one of the all-time greats. So grab a glass of scotch, sink into your favourite armchair, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to Thelonious Monk!
