Thelonious Monk:
These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)
Trinkle Tinkle
Sweet And Lovely

vinyl rip, from Monk's Moods [Prestige 7159]

This is a record that my mom had the good sense to buy, circa 1960. The piano is maybe not 100% in tune on These Foolish Things, but Thelonious exploits this for his own ends. Once again modern man triumphs over the limits of technology.

Sweet And Lovely recorded October 15, 1952, with Art Blakey on drums and Gary Mapp on bass.
