Great record though the bass and drums is under recorded. 

Monk was so great, he could play anything and it would stil sound like if it was composed by himself. 
 

But the very very best "Monk plays Ellington" is on a video from Berlin 1969, where he plays "Sophisticated Lady", "Solitude" and "Caravan" just solo, with his fantastic left hand playing stride the way only Monk could do it. 

I think I have read somewhere that after that record was out, somebody asked Monk if he had been influenced by Ellington, which he sure was not. I think Monk answered "if there is an influence itŽs vice versa...." 

Monk is so great, he was never wrong.

Here this was a great pianist. He could play anything. ItÂŽs possible I heard him once with Pharoah Sanders. At least I have many albums with him as a sideman.I have heard he had died very early , but no idea what was the reason.

On to an LP. . . .

Wini Brown With Milt Jackson “Miss Brown For You” Savoy Jazz LP

This lp includes National Records material including previously unreleased material by a singer from the Lionel Hampton band with excellent backing. LP sounds a tiny bit off-center.

"Navarro was survived by wife Rena (nĂ©e Clark; 1927–1975) and daughter Linda (born 1949), who currently lives in Seattle, Washington."

Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” Columbia 70s pressing 2 LP, LP 1

7e240d1098e385330e56251d5aec124d6a54df48

My first purchase of this music probably over fifty years ago. Sounding like the familiar warm blanket of amazement it always does.

👌 - same here!
