Blue Movies . . . Monk in Oslo
October 07, 2006
From YouTube (soon to be Googled?) comes a great 10+ minute clip from the video "Monk in Oslo," recorded by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation on April 15, 1966. It shows Thelonious Monk and his Quartet in all its glory:
With Monk are Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums.
This post was originally published on JazzRochester.
This video is available as a bonus DVD on the set Monk 'Round The World from Hyena Records. It's a great CD/DVD set of Monk in Europe. Really worth it. Here's an article about the set from the time of its release:
