Review by Scott Yanow
Pianist Thelonious Monk's appearance with a tentet at a 1959 Town
Hall concert was a major success. With Hal Overton contributing
arrangements of Monk's tunes (including a remarkable transcription
of Monk's original piano solo on "Little Rootie Tootie") and solos
provided by trumpeter Donald Byrd, trombonist Eddie Bert, altoist
Phil Woods, Charlie Rouse on tenor, and baritonist Pepper Adams,
this date was a real standout. The program (plus three additional
numbers) has also been included in Monk's huge Riverside box set
but, for more budget-minded consumers, this CD is a must. There
would only be one other recorded occasion (Monk's 1963
Philharmonic Hall concert) when the unique pianist was as
successfully featured with a larger ensemble.
