Thelonious Monk with Art Blakey a perfect combo ....

I don´t have this, but all records of pre bop tenorists with the then "modern" Red Garland Trio are fine. 

I saw Arnett Cobb once at Jazzland with a 3 horn frontline. The altoist was great and was the almost forgotten Jimmy Ford, who once played with Dameron and Fats at Royal Roost...., only the trumpet player was somehow weak....

 

I only regret that there is no record of Lester Young with the Red Garland Trio......

sure ! 

On the tours of the Giants of Jazz around late ´72 or when it was (I missed it I was only 13 and it took me another year to get to jazz concerts) and on videos or airshots you hear the full power of Blakey much better than on the 40´s/50´s records, which was more the way they recorded then.....

Monk, so he had a somewhat vacant look and seemed quite passive, played piano better then ever and this together with Volcano Blakey......whoooey
