Notes:

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. The sound on this one is not great. In the B/B- range. Despite the sound issues, I think this is an FM recording.

This gem appears never to have been posted and there's not much Monk here. maybe we can get a mini-flood going? 

Though titled "The First European Concert" he did record in Paris in 1954 and I'd assume played some date/s around that? It appears to be the first of many 1960's European concerts though.

Notes:

Pitch of 1-3 were approx. 78 cents flat. Track 4-7 were approx. 102 cents sharp. 5 had/has extreme pitch fluctuations/flutter, and this was a compromise solution just to get it sort of in tune. Corrected to the best of my ability. The piano is also not completely in tune with itself, further complicating things...

*Released in a 4:16 version on "Straight No Chaser" (the movie soundtrack album - Columbia CK 45358). Sheriden notes that "this was spliced from several sources, including an on-tour rehearsal, being drawn from the Charlotte Zwerin/Bruce Ricker film documentary, 'Straight No Chaser.'" The version I have is 24:27 and the real gem of this show, as all members of the nonet take solos. I have no means of splicing out the officially released portions, and I am thus unable to upload them. Nevertheless, this is a pretty awesome show that seems pretty rare, since the 4:16 version of I Mean You is the only portion of this concert catalogued by Sheridan.

Not sure who the players are other than Clark Terry on Trumpet and Flugelhorn as well as the legendary Monk sideman/protege Tenor Sax player Charlie Rouse.  Charlie Rouse's tone was unmistakeable with Monk, so I'm sure it was Charlie. Ben Riley was Monk's drummer at this time as well.
