Our Take
Ah, Thelonious Monk, the man, the myth, the legend. Just hearing his name evokes images of smoky jazz clubs and wild pianist fingers dancing across the keys. So, when we got our hands on the recently unearthed live recording of his Paris 1969 performance, we were practically giddy with excitement. From the moment the needle hit the record, we were transported back to a different era. Monk's signature off-kilter rhythms and playful melodies were in full swing, with each note imbued with a sense of reckless abandon. The band, consisting of a stellar line-up including Charlie Rouse on saxophone and Ben Riley on drums, provided the perfect backdrop for Monk's improvisational genius. Tracks like "Well, You Needn't" and "Rhythm-a-ning" are standouts, showcasing Monk at his most daring and experimental. The energy in the room is palpable, with the audience hanging on every note, every pause, every unexpected twist and turn. But what truly sets this album apart is Monk's undeniable charisma and charm. His quirky stage banter and infectious enthusiasm are enough to make even the most stoic listener crack a smile. It's no wonder he was such a beloved figure in the jazz world. In conclusion, Thelonious Monk's Paris 1969 is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. It's a rare glimpse into the mind of a musical genius at the height of his powers, and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the greatest pianists of all time. Monk may no longer be with us, but his music lives on, and this album is a fitting tribute to his unparalleled talent.
