@jazzbo, what aspect(s) of their "house sound" don't appeal to you?   I'm just curious.

Very compressed and slightly edgy sound.

This is one of my favorite Monk Quartet albums.

Especially outstanding is the track on Disc 2 "Misterioso". It features some truly amazing solos from both Charlie Rouse and Monk.

This is a very nice recording. I am going to see Bruce in concert this Friday with saxophonist Kirk MacDonald ( in Sydney, Nova Scotia).
