Vinyl LP repressing of this 1960 album by jazz great Thelonious Monk. East Coast meets West Coast for a session of high energy bop at San Francisco's Blackhawk. Monk is spurred to play more in the groove by the hepcat audience, and his standard quartet featuring Charlie Rouse on tenor is augmented by another tenor, Harold Land, the most East-Coast of the West Coast tenors, and Joe Gordon on trumpet. Land is a more abrasive and hard-edge player than the lauded voice of LA, Art Pepper, and under-rated. Includes Let's Call This, 'Round Midnight, and I'm Getting Sentimental Over You amongst others. Let's Call This, Four in One, I'm Getting Sentimental Over You, Worry Later, 'Round Midnight, Epistrophy (Closing Theme)
