Reviews :
When Thelonious Monk took to the stage at Club Doelen in Rotterdam on 28 October 1967, he had just turned 50. 15 years later, he disappeared from musical life, taking refuge for the last 6 years of his life in New York, at Pannonica in Koenigswater, without ever touching the piano again. Surrounded by the two "classics" "Ruby, My Dear" and "Blue Monk", he animates for more than an hour and 20 minutes the quartet of his 3 accomplices, Charlie Rouse, Larry Gales, Ben Riley and their guests. Larry Gales' bass comes out like a box at the end of "Hackensack", the brass rushes into the middle of "We See" and answers each other swirling in the dizzying "Oska". And in the middle of the concert, a solo moment on "Don't Blame Me": everything appears contrasted, twisted, oblique, each note seeming to be astonished by the previous one. Monk first goes around the melody from behind before bringing it back, pure, to the front. Finally they close: "Blue Monk", all in classical restraint.
