Bob Monkhouse Johnny Roadhouse Shithouse (Ben Webster's fond nickname for Jimmy Rowles)

Yes, a great session. Particulary impressed by the snap-crackle drumming à la Roy Haynes of Gene Jackson. The "standards" in their name seems to be a bit of shrewd marketing aimed at a particular kind of audience - in fact, their repertoire contained originals and "standards" covered included Ornette Coleman's "Turnaround"! As John Fordham remarks in his very favorable Guardian review above, standards are never more than a starting point with this group.
