This set is a great accomplishment. The arrangements are tight and fresh. They don't wander or digress. The group is "true" to the original recordings without aping Monk's style. Scott Robinson is a marvelous presence on several instruments (one at a time). And you can't do better than Rufus Reid and Billy Drummond. I especially get a kick from hearing the Monk tunes that hardly anyone has ever recorded.

A great loss. Perry frequently came to Seattle -- to visit relatives, I think. I met Perry on a few of his visits, heard him jam with various local musicians, and had some chances to visit with him. A fiery improviser and a sweet character, he will be missed by all who knew him.

This week on "Straight, No Chaser" on KBCS, we remembered clarinetist Perry Robinson, who passed away this week, by listening to several of his recordings.
