Vibraphonists influenced by Thelonious Monk

[Rabshakeh]

The vibraphone has a close relationship as an instrument to the piano, but I can't off the top of my head think of any vibes players who showed a clear relationship to Thelonious Monk's music. Perhaps the high sustained sound of a vibraphone makes Monk's rhythmic concepts less satisfying. 

Any ideas? Idle curiosity, really.

Milt Jackson is the only vibes player I can think of who recorded with Monk. That's the session that gave us "Misterioso", IIRC.

I would say the version of Bobby Hutcherson who's so integral to Grachan Moncur III's EVOLUTION and Dolphy's OUT TO LUNCH is engaging with Monk's concepts.
