Tracks list

Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. Angular Monk
meets hard-driving Art Blakey â€“ in a session thats quite unique, and
which has gone onto become one of the best-remembered Atlantic jazz sessions of
the late 50s! The album features Blakey in that key non-Blue Note year of 1957
â€“ a time when he was working with a variety of players, at a variety of
labels, and taking some real chances with his music before settling into his
more established hit Jazz Messengers sound.

The group here is Arts own â€“ with Johnny Griffin on tenor, Bill Hardman
on trumpet, and Spanky DeBrest on bass â€“ augmented by the piano of
Thelonious Monk â€“ a match that might seem unlikely at first, but not so
much so after you consider the great work that Monk and Griffin did together at
Riverside during the late 50s. Theres a nice match between Johnnys sharp-edged
tenor and Monks imaginative playing â€“ and if anything, the record has
Blakey, Hardman, and DeBrest moving dynamically to keep up with the flurry of
modern ideas coming from Griffin and Monk! Tracks are almost all originals by
Thelonious too â€“ a fact that definitely helps keep up the Monk-ish sound
of the record â€“ titles that include Evidence, Blue Monk, I Mean You, and
Rhythm A Ning â€“ alongside Griffins Purple Shades.
