Current Listening

Thelonious Monk
"Alone in San Francisco"
Riverside 1158
Stereo
1959
Original Pressing (Black Label)

This LP, originally purchased with a friend in mind, arrived too late for bestowal.. it was not meant to be!!!!!!! :) anyways, its Monk solo doing what only HE does.. the LP cover is pretty cool with Monk hanging on to a trolley in San Francisco...its a mixture of standards and classic Monk tunes played live at the "Fugazi" in the city we built on rock'n'roll... What is the difference between a Stereo and Mono pressing of a record featuring a single piano?
