Got it last week. Haven't had time to listen carefully. Sound is excellent. Heard a review on Fresh Air yesterday. Reviewer said Billie Holiday and Ray Charles were also on the bill. Highest priced tickets were $4.

Thanks, David. It must have been an amazing concert. And the sound engineer did a brilliant job of recording it. The NPR report made much of the obviously good mike placement. Please feel free to offer a more detailed review when you have a chance.

I'm going to post a review at some point once I have a chance to sit down and really listen to it. You're exactly right about the sound. For a live concert it is absolutely incredible. I think Monk's son had a good deal to do with the re-mastering. Some of the credit may be due him. I heard a description of NY in the 50s with all these guys at the apex of their talent: Paradise. Must have been.

I'm a jazz buff too. I have vinyl and CDs. I still am a neophyte, but Nancy Wilson is my favorite singer. Bob Palochi has a great show at 90.5FM. I heard cuts from this recording last weekend.

Hey Doug,
Did you ever wonder WHY those tapes were lost and stuffed away in a back corner of the achives...It's because of the High Point Choice Plan. Wait...ah...wrong strand...(or is it?)...
