Recorded at "Salle Pleyel", Paris, France, November 3, 1967, Thelonious Monk Nonet Live in Paris is a concert recording of a rare large group that Monk assembled for the European tour, which featured the addition of some of the top horn players in jazz.
Criticism edit
Jazz critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album: “a rare recording (of a large group) making it a historical curiosity; more importantly the music (featuring six originals) is excellent."[3]
Background edit
Monk organized this concert in an unusual way. The musicians joined the original quartet by coming on one by one to join in.[4]
