Thelonious Monk Nonet Live in Paris 1967

We'll also go to Paris and Monk's extraordinary 1967 concert recording that was once a bootleg but is no longer.

Thelonious Monk, live in Paris, 1967, Volume 1.

Now restored and released by the family.

We'll talk about those tapes, bootlegs, Monk's remarkable live playing, and why TS says if you really want to understand his father, listen closely to what Monk plays when he's not soloing.

and a family making certain that generations yet unborn will still know the name Thelonious Monk.

Thanks to the Monk family, there's music to enjoy with this episode.

The tracks are from Thelonious Monk Live in Paris, 1967, Volume 1, on the Rhythm and Ning label.

They are Epistrophe and Ruby, My Dear, and we'll hear a sample of We See.
