I'm going to continue my Monk seeds this week with five more shows. As
always, any attempts to clean up the sound on this would be much
appreciated. Enjoy!

Thelonious Monk Quartet
Newport Jazz Festival
Newport, RI
July 2, 1966

The sound on this one is in the A- range, generally very clear, but a
bit hissy in the quieter parts.

01. Evidence (11:32)
02. Light Blue (10:49)
03. Japanese Folk Song [Kojo No Tsuki] (10:08)

NOTE: The Monk discography at www.jazzdisco.org lists this date (with
a somewhat different track listing) as "Blue Monk" (Black Lion (J)
32JDB 137). However, extensive research has not shown any evidence that
such an album was released. The "London Sessions" (all from 1971) appear
to be the only Monk releases on Black Lion. In addition, Mosaic's
"The Complete Black Lion and Vogue Recordings of Thelonious Monk" does not
include this set.

Lineup:
Thelonius Monk - Piano
Charlie Rouse - Tenor Sax
Larry Gales - Bass
Ben Riley - Drums

lineage:
FM? > ? > flac on DVD in trade > Easy DC-DA Extractor > Dime

NOTE: I'm always a bit wary when seeding older jazz, because it can be tough
to tell what has been officially released. I have checked as thoroughly as
I know how. However, if you do find that this or any other shows that I've
seeded has been officially released, please PM me so that I can alert the
Dime authorities and have it taken down.
