Thelonious In Action Audiophile edition

'Thelonious in Action' was recorded live at the Five Spot in Manhattan on 7 August 1958, during the same sessions that produced 'Misterioso'. The Five Spot, one of New York's most famous jazz venues, was the place where Monk first stepped into the limelight. He was accompanied by tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, drummer Roy Haynes and bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik. They recorded two memorable albums of classic Monk repertoire (this is the first).
