{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-its-monks-time-lp-vinyl","title":"Thelonious Monk – It's Monk's Time (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in 1964, \"It's Monk's Time\" captures the quartet at a moment of real creative confidence, with Charlie Rouse having settled into a telepathic working relationship with Monk after years on the road together. The title carries a quiet defiance, arriving at a time when jazz was fracturing into free experimentation and soul-jazz crossover, yet Monk remained stubbornly, brilliantly himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith it's three compositions by Thelonious Monk, one might call this LP from 1964 \"3 Standards and 3 Monks\". The 'High Priest' of bebop had reached a further pinnacle in his career and performed with his fantastic, skilful and well-rehearsed quartet at numerous festivals and concerts. As if in a dream, the musicians penetrate the apparently simple yet rhythmically complicated themes, interrupted again and again by Monk's solo escapades on the piano. On the stage, Monk often stood up and jigged around the piano like a lumbering dancing bear, with one of his distinctive hats on his head; he plonks down on the piano stool after the Charlie Rouse solo; his enormous feet tap back and forth to the beat; he constantly fiddles with the ring on his finger; and he creates the most wonderful improvisations ever heard with his 'false' fingering.Calling all jazz fans: Listen to Thelonious Monk, and you will have a ball - most especially if you put this super disc with the promising title \"It's Monks Time\" on your turntable!.\" Recording: January - March 1964Production: Teo Macero.\" \"It's Monk's Time\" - Thelonious Monk (p); Charlie Rouse (ts); Butch Warren (b); Ben Riley (dr).\" standard sleeve\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. Lulu's Back In Town (9:55)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Memories Of You (6:06)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Stuffy Turkey (8:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Brake's Sake (12:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Nice Work If You Can Get It (4:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Shuffle Boil (7:09)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4260019714152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speakers Corner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.4.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48931197321371,"sku":"65564915","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-thelonious-monk-it-s-monk-s-time-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1783482080","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/thelonious-monk-its-monks-time-lp-vinyl","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
