          Yes a wonderful track by all concerned especially Kenny Dorham's lyrical solo.

          Here is a favourite Weston track with a soulful and dramatic solo by Booker Ervin - 'Portrait of Vivian' from "African Cookbook"

            Thanks, elmo - an intensely moving tenor solo from Booker Ervin.
            There's a 10-minute version of 'Portrait of Vivian' with Booker on Randy Weston's 'Monterey '66' album:

            Recorded live at the Monterey Jazz Festival, 1966. This recording is out of print. Randy Weston: piano; Ray Copeland: trumpet; Booker Ervin: tenor saxophone;...

                    The second track on an album depicting Monk sat on a children's cart on the front, and the one which clinched Monk as the most exciting personality for the 16-year old me. I'm sure the title was chosen for its following directly after the opener, a straight rendition of "Abide With Me". I think it was the first Coltrane I heard too. Mustn't forget to mention the remarkable hi fidelity maintained throughout the LP for its date.

                        Found a double CD of John Dankworth Orchestra albums from the early seventies in a charity shop - Lifeline and...I forget the other one’s name. :)

                        It includes the theme from Tomorrow’s World, which I’d forgotten JD composed.

                          The first Monk album I heard was 'Monk's Dream'(Columbia) back in 1963 along with Coltrane's 'Live at Birdland'(Impulse!).
                          The wonderful 'Monk's Music' with Coltrane came quite a bit later.
                          Here's 'Bye-Ya' from 'Monk's Dream':

                              The first Monk album I bought (second hand) was "Monk plays Ellington" when I was 15 or 16 (1960). I still think its wonderful even though it was a Riverside "ease into Monk" project. The cover, at least on mine, is Henri Rousseau's "Repas d' Lion", which has its own charm. Rousseau painted "Africa" via the Paris botanical gardens!

                                I have been playing the Monk box set "Complete 1971 Black Lion Sessions" Monk, Al McKibbon and Blakey. Wonderful stuff - Brian Priestley's perceptive sleeve sums the session up, "As for Thelonious himself, he defies any simplistic summing up, and if you want proof that he was still at the height of his powers in 1971 , you could do no better than investigate these albums. Hear Hear Brian, here is 'Hackensack'
