This excellent 2-CD set from the great pianist/composer Thelonious Monk(1917-82) was recorded in front of an enthusiastic audience at Sankei Hall, Tokyo on May 21, 1963 with Monk(piano); Charlie Rouse(tenor sax); Butch Warren(bass) & Frankie Dunlop(drums). The quartet are in exuberant form on 11 memorable tracks and highlights include inspired versions of 'Straight No Chaser', 'Evidence(Justice)', 'Bemsha Swing', a 13-minute 'Blue Monk' and 'Epistrophy' with some animated tenor playing from Rouse. 'Monk in Tokyo' is one of the pianist's finest live quartet recordings and this inventive, exhilarating and timeless music deserves a place in any modern jazz collection.
There is a lot of live Monk available from this period, so the real reason to seek out this set is his band. Drummer Frankie Dunlop is playing a beautifully-tuned kit and has been recorded here to detailed perfection. He turns in an astonishingly melodic performance, and one that shows a real sympathy with the structure of Monk's music. The only drummer I have ever-heard this attuned to a pianist is Frank Butler on some of the recordings he made with Elmo Hope. Dunlop, surprisingly little-known otherwise, may be the best drummer Monk ever had - and he was never better-recorded than he was here. If that weren't enough, Monk's long-term partner on tenor Charlie Rouse also turns in one of his most probative performances, and Monk himself is clearly energised by his receptive Japanese audience and delivering seldom-played material like "Hackensack", making this one of a small group of essential Monk recordings.
Japan seemed to bring out the best in the best. I have live recordings by B.B King; Santana (both from early 70's, in Japan) and now the Thelonius Monk Quartet IN TOKYO. if you are a fan you can't go wrong with this Live recording from the rather famed Sankei Hall. It was a revolving door for American Jazz men from "Satchmo" to Count Basie, to Lionel Hampton and of course MONK all making appearances in 1962. MONK IN TOKYO is a 2 disc 81 minute demonstration of fun, quirky (it's Monk on the keys...), can't help but smile and enjoy collection of songs from "Just A Gigolo" to the (new to me) "Jackie-ing"! At times pretty and fun, humorous and haunting. Gotta' love the long ones "Hackensack" and "Blue Monk" together covering 24 minutes. This Quartet is original and very entertaining. This from a "bluesman listener" who really can't listen to be-bop jazz or Miles Davis' mid 60's, Wayne Shorter phase for more than a half hour at a time. 4.5 stars for MONK IN TOKYO. Easy yet unique listening.
