alocispepraluger102 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) America 2003 is a great document of a recent tour with Evan Parker & Paul Lytton I saw these guys in Seattle in 2003. Schlippenbach opened some amazing Monk stream-of-consciousness solo playing that blew my mind! I don't think he had it planned out at all...just skipping from one monk to the next, seamlessly - some of his more obscure compositions to boot. He's an incredible keysmith. Can't wait to hear 'Monk Casino'. that trio makes some of my favorite music in this world. Edited February 26, 2007 by alocispepraluger102 Quote
Bright Moments Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Maybe a minority viewpoint, but I really like Monk's Casino. i enjoyed it - but frankly i probably won't spin it again for a while - i've got plenty of the real thing! think i'll spin "live at the it club!" Quote
Nate Dorward Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Just saw them a few weeks back on their North American tour. It was OK. Quote
NavSJ Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 At first listen Monk's Casino didn't do much for me. Now after 4 listens, I really love it. The music is full of weird angles, quirks and eccentricities, but still swings. Out-there but also very much in the pocket. For those interested, I thin dimeadozen.com has several other live perfomances available to torrent. An apt description. I have Monk's Casino. And it is just like you described it. Come to think of it, that also describes Monk's music, too. Quote
