One of my favourites, and Monk did play Ellington on another later Occasion in Berlin 1969 (70´s Birthday of Ellington was the motto and Monk played Incredible Stride piano for example on Caravan). 

It´s even told that at one Moment in his career Monk took over the piano bench of the Ellington Orchestra and described it as "an interesting experience"...…..

This guy at this time has a confidence bordering on cockiness, in a good way. Like prime Eckstine, he puts it where he wants it how he wants it, and there's not even a shred of uncertainty about where and how that's going to be.

Duduka Da Fonseca & Helio Alves "Samba Jazz – Tom Jobim" A very nice tribute album to Jobim that has Maucah Adnet on vocals for about half, a big plus for me.

Duduka-Da-Fonseca-Helio-Alves-Samba-Jazz 

Followed by:
Miles Davis "Directions" disc 1, the cd version from the Complete Columbia Albums box set.

Clifford Jordan - Hyde Park After Dark (from the Bee Hive Mosaic), with Von Freeman, Cy Touff, Norman Simmons, Victor Sproles and Wilbur Campbell.  An inspired lineup with thoughtful arrangements by Simmons.  There is not a single dud on the Mosaic.

I kinda wish that, say after the Mary Poppins album, there had been a Duke Ellington Plays Thelonious Monk album, a mix of big band, small group, trio and solo piano tracks.  I would love to have heard the Ellington band, with either Paul Gonsalves or Johnny Hodges as soloist, play "Ruby, My Dear". :wub:
