That looks intriguing.  Maalouf has left me behind in the last decade or so, so I may come back to him with this.

It's quite interesting. It gets a bit abstract, has a mid-eastern vibe and then in the end. . .it has a cool swinging piece.

A live favorite:

Skipping the bombastic belting of the title cut, one is left with a somewhat delightful record of familiar and quirkily unfamiliar songs, all arranged by Torrie Zito, who does indeed have his cake and eats it too!

Listening to an old friend.

I did a fair amount of work on Uptown projects before the relationship went sideways. i always loved the studio session on this set.

I love it. Charlie Rouse at his best. Some people like other tenor saxophonists with Monk more, but Charlie Rouse is wonderful and my favourite tenor player with Monk or in other surroundings. And Monk is so great here, I learned a lot of things for my own musical understanding from this double CD. And it´s wonderful to hear such extended versions of my favourite Monk live pieces "Bemsha Swing" and "Evidence". If I remember right, they play both "Just You Just Me" and "Evidence" , same chords as you might know. And that rare thing "Bright Missisippi" is very useful, you can do such things spontanously if you want to give something on the changes of "Sweet Georgia Brown". I think I once heard another unissued and incomplete version of "Honeysuckle Rose" also from that gig. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention "I´m gettin´ Sentimental on You" the Tommy Dorsey trademark tune, incredible how Monk does the theme as a solo intro......

Later Bud...I always wonder what's going on in his head during the pauses in his playing.

A fine record. Heard that music live at Winter Jazzfest a few years ago.
