johnblitweiler Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 . Damon Short's bands all reward serious listening. He's a very fine, subtle composer-arranger-drummer. This goodie is from the 1980s. Stan Tracey may have come closest of any pianist to the essence of Monk's piano art. Especially Monk's terrific swing. On a good night both of them could blow ou and me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Bud Powell "A Tribute to Thelonious" from around 1961 is nice, though some compositions are not Monk. Another rare album with about the same title was from 1964 (solo in Paris and trio in NY) with only Monk Tunes. The only time Bud played "Bemsha Swing".
