Palo Alto, a largely white college town in Cali, wasn't immune. Danny Scher, a junior at the high school, had a dream to have Thelonious Monk perform and help bring about racial unity the community while raising funds for the International Committee. After many twists and turns, the triumphantly successful concert eventually happened. Against a backdrop of racial tension and political volatility, the concert took place on October 27, 1968, and was recorded by the school's janitor. The 47-minute album features Monk's regular touring band of tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley. It also highlights his touring repertoire, which constituted his finest compositions. The CD comes with a poster and booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThelonius Monk, piano\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharlie Rouse, tenor saxophone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLarry Gales, bass\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBen Riley, drums\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/officialTRACKLISTINGWITHWORLD_6cc9a700-5133-4e4f-88f5-c9c6bb3a4a58_480x480.png?v=1674578390\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/officialTRACKLISTINGWITHWORLD_6cc9a700-5133-4e4f-88f5-c9c6bb3a4a58.png?v=1674578390\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Ruby, My Dear\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Well, You Needn't\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Don't Blame Me\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Blue Monk\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 ]Epistrophy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 ]I Love You Sweetheart of All My Dreams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IMPULSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67904576356566,"sku":"gfn1794062733740","price":8.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/5177\/6214\/files\/thelonious-monk-palo-alto_1.jpg?v=1794062740","url":"https:\/\/glassbeadshimmerfit.shop\/products\/thelonious-monk-palo-alto","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
