Thelonious Monk was among the true giants of jazz. His idiosyncratic piano style, sublime compositions, thrilling »live« performances and eccentric personality secured him a place in the pantheon of American music legends. Now with the advent of Thelonious Records (founded by his son, T.S. Monk), a treasure chest of never before heard concert recordings from the Thelonious Monk archive will be released for the world to hear for the first time ever. Monk 'Round The World is the second installment from the series, and documents seven performances from five cities recorded around the world throughout the 1960s. On each cut, Monk is side by side with his proverbial Tanto -- Charlie Rouse. Classics such as »Blue Monk,« »Ruby My Dear« and »Bemsha Swing« are treated brilliantly in rousing renditions that surely rank among the greatest Monk concert recordings ever made available. A special FREE bonus DVD is also included, featuring a »live« performance from London in 1965.
