| | Description: | Vor zwei Jahren lieferte ein unveröffentlichtes Coltrane-Album die Jazz-Story des Jahres. Dieses Jahr ist ein unveröffentlichtes Konzert von Jazzlegende Thelonious Monk erneut so eine starke Story!
1968, nach der Ermordung von Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., nahmen die Rassenspannungen in den USA rasant zu, auch in Palo Alto, Kalifornien. Die dortige Universität kam auf die unglaubliche Idee, Thelonious Monk für ein Konzert zur Verständigung von Schwarz und Wei� einzuladen. Nach vielen Komplikationen fand das Konzert schlie�lich statt. Es wurde ein Triumph für Monk und die Veranstalter.
Impulse! Records veröffentlicht jetzt die wiederentdeckte Aufnahme dieses nicht nur musikalisch historischen Events erstmals auf LP, CD und digital. Sowohl die Gatefold-LP als auch das CD-Digipak enthalten ein ausführliches Booklet mit Fotos, Erinnerungen der Veranstalter und Linernotes von Robin Kelly, sowie Faksimiles des damaligen Posters und Konzertprogrammes. - LIVE AT THE PALO ALTO HIGH SCHOOL 1968After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1968, racial tensions across the country rose. Palo Alto, a largely white college town in Cali, wasn't immune. Danny Scher, a junior at the high school, had a dream to have Thelonious Monk perform and help bring about racial unity the community while raising funds for the International Committee. After many twists and turns, the triumphantly successful concert eventually happened. Against a backdrop of racial tension and political volatility, the concert took place on October 27, 1968, and was recorded by the school's janitor. The 47-minute album features Monk's regular touring band of tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley. It also highlights his touring repertoire, which constituted his finest compositions. The CD comes with a poster and booklet."Palo Alto (Live At Palo Alto High School/Ca 1968)" is a remarkable live album by the legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, released in CD format by Impulse. This recording captures an extraordinary performance given at Palo Alto High School in California in 1968, showcasing Monk's signature improvisational brilliance and unique compositional style. The concert features classic tracks performed with his quartet, offering listeners a rare glimpse into one of Monk?s lesser-known but highly energetic live shows during the late 1960s. Impulse Records, renowned for its pivotal role in jazz history and association with groundbreaking artists like John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, ensures top-notch audio quality and presentation for this release. Thelonious Monk remains one of jazz?s most influential figures; known for compositions such as "Round Midnight" and "Blue Monk," he has left an indelible mark on modern music through his innovative approach to rhythm and harmony. | | | No. of tracks: |
