THELONIOUS MONK
Underground
(Columbia, 1968)
Le jeu subtil de Thelonious Monk et son phrasé syncopé habillent à merveille cet album, le dernier du Thelonious Monk Quartet. A noter que cet opus est également célèbre de par sa couverture engagée où l’on retrouve Monk en résistant français de la seconde guerre mondiale. Les morceaux publiés à l’origine étaient amputés de certains solos qui furent heureusement rétablis plus tard.
