Artist:Thelonious Monk
Song:April In Paris
Album:Monk
It's always enjoyable when a jazz musician takes a standard and makes it his own. Such is the case with this version of April In Paris by the 1964 Thelonious Monk Quartet; Thelonious Monk on piano, Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Larry Gales on bass & Ben Riley on drums. The interplay between Monk & Rouse is beautifully done. Monk plays the song like he wrote it but he didn't. Columbia released a remastered and expanded version of Monk in 2002 with some alternate takes. It's a must for jazz fans.
