Thelonious Monk/PA, USA 1960

Recorded from the show in Philadelphia on August 27, 1960, digitally remastered from the radio on-air master. As a recording at that time, the quality is excellent, and the member Roy Haynes on drums has no complaints. It’s a shame that the recording time is just over 20 minutes, but it’s a rare sound source of Monk from a valuable period full of bop and modern sensibilities.
