Pre-Order: Thelonious Monk * Big Band & Quartet In Concert [Vinyl] 9/2/14 Down the Trail of Achin'? Thelonious Monk could walk from his flat to New York's famous Philharmonic Hall on the corner of 64th Street and Broadway when he made his very first appearance there with his Big Band in December 1963. And the other musicians could get there on the underground: Phil Woods, Steve Lacy, Thad Jones all of them were members of Monk's closest circle of collaborators. It is no wonder then that the well known themes were highly agreeable and harmonious.
