Nothing to say, still a great Monk. Words are of little use to describe what appears again as obvious: this album is a masterpiece (but which one is not?). Monk said: "I think it's easier to play fast than to build some thing interesting on a slow tempo." Brilliant demonstration.
Plus it is a beautiful object, if you have the chance to dig up the CD Digipack Version published in 1996. I have not yet read the biography that has devoted Laurent de Wilde there Monk few years, but this does not delay ....
