Popis - RSD 2020 - PALAIS DES BEAUX-ARTS 1963 [VINYL]:
RSD 2020 release. In 1963 Monk was at the top of his game. With his steady quartet of veteran collaborators, he had landed himself a new contract with Columbia and recorded 2 milestone albums for them ('Monk's Dream' and 'Criss-Cross'). Soon after Thelonious Monk started touring in Europe to promote his freshly recorded material... and he brought his critically acclaimed line-up with him on tour: Charlie Rouse on saxophone, John Ore on double bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums. On this album, you'll find unearthed Belgian concert-recordings from that era. The show consisted of 2 parts, both were recorded by the national Belgian broadcast company BRT/RTB who had the best recording-equipment on the market at the time. The set unearthed here (the BRT recordings part) consists of tracks from said Columbia albums which have now become omnipresent jazz standards. Includes an exact reproduction of the original concert poster from 1963. Limited to 2000 copies.
