Product description

Dive into the timeless genius of Thelonious Monk with "The Classic Quartet," a remastered gem released in 2006. This album captures the essence of Monk's iconic quartet, featuring the legendary pianist alongside Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone, Butch Warren on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums. Recorded during a historic tour of Japan in 1963, these five tracks offer a rare glimpse into the raw, unfiltered energy of Monk's performances.

From the intricate rhythms of "Epistrophy" to the soulful melodies of "Blue Monk," each piece showcases Monk's unique blend of bebop, hard bop, and cool jazz. The remastering process, handled by Bernie Grundman from the original master tapes, ensures that every note is crisp and clear, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the complexity and innovation of Monk's compositions.

With a runtime of just over 38 minutes, "The Classic Quartet" is a concise yet powerful collection that highlights the collaborative brilliance of Monk and his bandmates. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Monk's music, this album is a testament to his enduring influence on the jazz genre.

This 2023 Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Loud Vinyl, Annoying Hiss
2 out of 5 stars

Terribly loud vinyl. Non-stop background hiss even after thorough cleaning.
Outstanding Audio Performance
5 out of 5 stars

Audio quality is fantastic and performance is outstanding. It's one of those pressings that didn't leave anything to be wanted! Has incredible depth and a wonderful sense of weight and presence!
RSD Black Friday Gem
5 out of 5 stars

I snagged my copy during RSD Black Friday and have spun it countless times since, and it's absolutely fantastic. The pressing is top-notch, zero skips, pops, or anything of the sort. There's some static here and there, but that's just the environment. The performances are out of this world, AND it's a BG mono remaster straight from the original tapes, all for just 25 bucks...! It's a no-brainer, forget what the haters & complainers say!
Agreeable Quality with Noise
3 out of 5 stars
rrix538August 7, 2024United States🇺🇸
I concur with other reviewers about the noise on this pressing. I'm happy to have it, but there are moments when it has quite a bit of pops and crackles. On the whole, the music quality is really good for a TV recording.
Monk's Gigolo Vinyl Gem
5 out of 5 stars
Tjohozueup_CzuktMay 25, 2024United States🇺🇸
I'm really digging this vinyl pressing—it's perfectly flat, super quiet, and surprisingly dynamic considering it's sourced from a video broadcast. Monk's solo take on "Just A Gigolo" is absolutely fantastic as well. I'd definitely recommend this one.
