The Monk Estate's Paris archive series continues with Monk Live in Paris, 1967, Volume Two, which brings a full nonet to the stage on 180-gram red vinyl.
Recorded at the Salle Pleyel in 1967 during a European tour, the concert caught Thelonious Monk's working quartet, with tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley, joined by an all-star horn section of Phil Woods, Johnny Griffin, Jimmy Cleveland and Ray Copeland. On this volume, trumpet great Clark Terry joins in too, and hearing nine musicians wrestle with Monk's angular writing is a rare treat.
The heart of the record is Oska-T, a sprawling workout of more than fifteen minutes in which the horns stack up and peel away while Monk prods, comments and needles from the piano. Blue Monk offers a warmer, swinging counterpoint, and a brief run through the Epistrophy theme closes things out in classic fashion, the tune Monk so often used to sign off a set.
Long known to collectors only through unofficial releases, this music now arrives as part of the estate's own archive programme, where it belongs. It's a joyous, slightly rowdy snapshot of a giant at play with friends, and a perfect companion to the first volume.
