THE THELONIOUS MONK QUARTET
Monk's Dream
1963 Canada Stereo pressing

Nothing like listening to one of my favorite #jazz records on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Part of the Victoria Day-trip pile from yesterday, there was no way I was turning this down when I saw it. This is essentially and EXCELLENT upgrade play copy from the one I had, and THIS is in far superior condition than the one I had.

There’s just something about the right kind of jazz record on a comfy, lazy Sunday when the sun is out and the windows are wide open.

I'm relistening to Study In Brown by Clifford Brown and Max Roach and I've been very quickly reminded why it's one of my favorite jazz albums. Highly recommend checking it out!!!!
