Monk, Thelonious -& Gerry Mulligan-

Mulligan Meets Monk (usa)

US import vinyl reissue with reproduced artwork and labels. This set, which includes four compositions by Monk and one by Mulligan, is unassailable. Mulligan acquits himself admirably on the Monk classics 'Round Midnight', 'Rhythm-a-ning' and 'Straight, No Chaser', unfurling his smooth tone over their zigzagging melodies and ambitious scalar architecture. Mulligan's 'Decidedly', a bright bop workout, fits easily alongside Monk's tunes, especially with the help of Monk's off-kilter, accented comping. Bassist Wilbur Ware and drummer Shadow Wilson lend solid support to the spirited playing of the two leaders, making this top-notch session (with its great tunes, chemistry, and soloing) a true classic.
