The recording captures what is undoubtedly one of the very best sets of the era. The songs, classic Monk repertoire, will be familiar to any Monk fan. That includes what is by all accounts an exceptional version of one of Monk's favorite standards, InchJust A Gigolo.Inch1. Epistrophy 5 432. Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are 8 473. Evidence 8 484.
