Do you really listen to all your music? : Thelonius Monk - At The Blackhawk
I have a lot of Monk albums and sometimes each one doesn’t particularly stand out. This is especially true, I think, of his later work. However, this is a nice exception. The pieces are mostly Monk classics but Charlie Rouse on Tenor Sax and, notably, Charlie Higgins on drums make these stand-out performances. The highlights for me are Epistrophy and Evidence but every track is good. The AMG review is underservedly light. This is a 5 star album in my book
