Not sure I'm ready to tackle another Monk just yet, although Monk's Music is definitely growing on me. How far out is this one?

Howdy AC! That album has nothing but Monk on solo piano. He does a lot of standards which is not unusual for him. I'm a real Monk-Head so I really dig it. What I like the most about his music is his swing and swagger rhythms and of course his complex compositions. Since you have already have "Monk's Music" you would probably really enjoy the "Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins", "Brilliant Corners" & "Criss Cross".

You'll never be the same!

Heavy processing as well, but nice music.

Thanks for the leads. I'll add 'em to my list.

Dang! I played that yesterday and thought I listed it, but I don't see a post from me.

Birdland is a great tune.

Is it time to get our Lee Morgan on? I'm down with that.

This is one of the few offerings I don't have, is it worth acquiring?

Birdland is why I bought the album back in the 80s, but I actually enjoyed the rest of the album more. The 1st track on the second side is an Afro-Cuban piece that doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the processed album, but is really fun.

Arne Domnerus
Antiphone Blues
SACD

A weird combination of pipe organ and sax in a cathedral. Nice relaxing vibe. Cool acoustics. Mediocre music.

McCoy Tyner

Very nice recording of great musicians playing good straight-ahead jazz. What's not to like?

Good SQ and good music.
