Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk

This release contains the complete original album 'Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk', plus an interesting live quartet version of 'Bya-Ya' with Monk, Blakey and Griffin. Three extremely rare live versions of Monk tunes, recorded by the Jazz Messengers during a TV show just a month after the studio album was made, are also included here. Although this album marks Thelonious Monk's sole recording as a member of Art Blakey's celebrated Jazz Messengers, the pianist and drummer were very close friends who understood each other well on both a personal and musical level. This amazing 1957 session with the Messengers made during the highest point of Monk's career. He and Blakey shared a common artistic feeling. Contains the complete original album + 4 bonus tracks and a comprehensive 12-page booklet.
