{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-classic-quartet-lp-vinyl","title":"Thelonious Monk – Classic Quartet","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonk's 1963 Japan tour came at a pivotal moment, just as his classic quartet with Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone was hitting its stride as one of the most intuitive working bands in jazz. Rouse spent over a decade alongside Monk, developing a rare shorthand with the pianist's angular compositions and unpredictable phrasing that few musicians ever managed to crack. Hearing them in a television performance context adds an intimacy that studio sessions rarely capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis recording is the audio portion of a television show recorded in Tokyo during Monk's 1963 tour of Japan. Not to be confused with the live album of that same 1963 tour, Monk In Tokyo, released on Columbia Records. It also should be noted that the recordings here were previously released as Thelonious Monk 1963 Japan, at various times, by various labels. This version has been remastered by Award Winning Engineer Bernie Grundman. It is the first time this album has been released on vinyl in over 35 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Epistrophy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Ba-Lou Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Evidence\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Just A Gigolo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Blue Monk\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 708857355112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.2.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candid (CLP 36511, 36511, 708857365111)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Epistrophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Ba-Lou Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Evidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Just A Gigolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Blue Monk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButch Warren – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrankie Dunlop – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernie Grundman – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScott Yanow – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKuniya Inaoka – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThelonious Monk – Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTBS Engineer Group – Recorded By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernie Grundman – Remastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKiyoshi Iwami – Restoration (Enhanced From Videotape)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Rouse – Tenor Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547784302910,"sku":"219744","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633308889406-transparent-v2.png?v=1791446227","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/thelonious-monk-classic-quartet-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
