AmirBagachelles Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I was surprised to find that besides the studio versions in '47, with Coltrane and later solo, this tune doesn't appear live on many Monk releases, and none that I own. I aim to change that. Any strong favorites here? Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 You must mean '57 and there is a version with Hawk from the same year. It is also on a Newport date with Pee Wee, the Solo Sessions set and the second volume of the London sessions for Black Lion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I misread and thought you said '47 with Coltrane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmirBagachelles Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Fantastic! Newport '65 bonus disc from '63 reissue (Sony Legacy 2002) is a must. And in great, closely miked sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Live In Paris / 1964 / Alhambra Vol.1 France's Concert 135 CD 1964-02-22 Nonet Live (In Paris) Le Jazz (FC 113) CD 1967-11-03 It is also on a boot of a concert from Rotterdam (October, 1967). It is true that Monk did not play Ruby, My Dear very often in concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fomafomic65 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Cannot think of Ruby My Dear today without hearing Carmen McRae's voice spinning in my head, her late magical performance of the tune in Carmen Sings Monk (1987), and in her Live In Montreal DVD (same year, same group).
