Jazz Connection
Art Blakey & Thelonious Monk
Art Blakey was present on both Thelonious Monk's
fi rst and last studio sessions, spanning a period of
24 years from the 1947 quintet and trio recordings
to the last sets taped in London in 1971, when
Blakey and Monk were touring with the group
called the "Giants of Jazz" (which also included
Sonny Stitt, Dizzy Gillespie, Kai Winding and Al
McKibbon). Although this album marks Monk's sole
recording as a member of Art Blakey's celebrated
Jazz Messengers, the pianist and drummer were
very close friends who understood each other well
on both a personal and musical level. In fact, With
the exception of Johnny Griffi n's "Purple Shades,"
all of the compositions on this album are classic
Thelonious Monk tunes.
