It's great when you're on a roll - you're teaching me so much. This stuff wasn't covered very much in Sounds or the Enemy when I was of that age and it was hard to piece the jigsaw together. It didn't help that all Jazz was considered 'hippy music' in those days after fusion had been displaced by new wave.
 
Tangerine Dream - The Sessions One. On clear vinyl....

Gavried, your much too kind:oops:. It's just that I'm older :(. This next, Monks own album, has 4 Monk compositions all that were on the above composite. Three of which were prepared for this recording date. Brilliant Corners, Blue Bolivar Blues and Pannonica. Only Beshma Swing wasn't.

It's a wonderful record but I feel for the musicians!

The complexity of the title track became a challenge for Monk's sidemen, who attempted twenty-five takes, and led to tension between him and Henry, who nearly broke down mentally, and Pettiford, who exchanged harsh words with Monk during the session. Monk tried to make it easier on Henry by not playing during his alto solo. During one of the takes, producer Orrin Keepnews and others in the control room could not hear Pettiford's playing and checked his bass microphone for a malfunction, but ultimately realized that he was pantomiming his playing. Without a completed single take, Keepnews ultimately pieced together the album version from multiple takes.
