The Monk quartet swung, to paraphrase the title of a much-loved Dave Brubeck number, in their own sweet way, from dusk to dawn. This 11-tune set spotlights eight 'greatest hits' written or co-written by Monk (his theme, 'Epistrophy', is played twice-once as a 'chaser', the other at full-lenght), plus the standards 'Just a Gigolo' as always a solo piano item at once haunting and humorous, and the Tommy Dorsey signature 'I'm Getting Sentimental Over You', a Monk favorite. Yet here is the 'High Priest' and his indispensable acolytes in live, half a world away from their New York sanctum sanctorum, swinging to make the sun rise.
