Big Band & Quartet In Concert 2x Black Vinyl

THELBIGBBL-LP00

$44.00

As Scott Yanow puts it in his five-star review for AllMusic, "This is one of pianist-composer Thelonious Monk's greatest recordings and represents a high point in his career... essential for all jazz collections." Big Band and Quartet in Concert, Monk's fifth album for Columbia records, was recorded live at Lincoln Center in New York City on December 30, 1963. The album is coming back to vinyl for the first time in over two decades with this double LP 180gram reissue, which was mastered from original tapes by Bernie Grundman and pressed at Pallas in Germany for a true audiophile experience.

Underground Black 180g Vinyl

THELUG00BL-LP00

$29.00

This release has long been considered Thelonious Monk's acknowledgement to the flourishing youth-oriented subculture from whence the collection takes its name. Certainly the Grammy-winning cover - which depicts Monk as a World War II French revolutionary toting an automatic weapon - gave the establishment more than the brilliant swinging sounds in the grooves to consider. Underground became Monk's penultimate studio album, as well as the final release to feature the '60s quartet: Charlie Rouse, Ben Riley, and Larry Gales. This 180gram audiophile-grade pressing was mastered from analog tapes.
