The quartet moves through six of Monk's compositions and two standards, delivering unique and compelling takes of the previously released material. Monk's impeccable piano playing ties the group together on this heavily swinging album. From his vamping behind Rouse's solos to his idiosyncratic stride piano on \"Eronel\" there is much to keep you moving. One gets the sense that the spirit was high at these sessions, as there's a sense of playfulness and positivity that comes across in the playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003emastered from original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003epressed on 180 gram audiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas Group in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003enumbered limited edition of 2,000 copies\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003emusic label: Columbia 1963 \/ ORG Music 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Cool Hand 01\/2015\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":1073947712,"sku":"fr-3057","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/theloniuscriss-web.jpg?v=1762269375","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/thelonious-monk-criss-cross-numbered-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
