Review

Arranger Hall Overton did a brilliant job of translating Thelonious Monk's distinctive compositions (and even a piano transcription) to a big band, both for an earlier Town Hall concert and for these 1963 recordings at Philharmonic Hall. Monk was at the peak of his belated celebrity, and he and the other musicians tear into this demanding music with a mix of authority and joyous abandon. Cornetist Thad Jones and altoist Phil Woods are among the big band's fine soloists, while Monk's regular drummer, Frankie Dunlop, is outstanding, a genuinely melodic player who could inspire the big band as well as the working quartet. --Stuart Broomer
