jazztrain Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ben Riley. Memories of T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 That's the one Niko mentioned - it was issued on CD. It's a good one, there's a thread on the Bobby Broom disc where the Bernstein is dicussed as well. I like the Bernstein a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) This Steve Khan LP has a long Monk medley on one side - I think it was the first time ever a guitarist featured Monk at length, not just single tunes. Can't find a cover of the Novus CD reissue. Tommy Flanagan's Thelonica Ben Riley. Memories of T. Some of Sphere's albums probably fit the criteria, too?

romualdo Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Can I add this comment to the current thread or should I start a new one? Has anyone covered the Monk tunes that had lyrics added In the early 60's Columbia considered releasing a vocal Monk album - Martin Williams, Joe Goldberg & Margo Guryan added lyrics to some of TM's compositions - We See, Let's Cool One, Worry Later, Let's Call This, Nutty Also Jon Hendricks was enlisted to write lyrics. Neither of these projects came to fruition. Has anyone recorded these vocal versions in the last 50 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Carmen McRae's great album is probaly the most complete selection of Monk with lyrics: 1. Get It Straight (Remastered 2001) 3:57 2.

BillF Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 This thread has been quite a revelation to me. I never realised how extensive the Monk industry had become. (I bought most of my Monk albums during his lifetime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
