Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars agree, this is agood one!.......2006-05-14

this disc looks like a cheapo.........but it is a gem. Not the same Tokyo session from the 2 cd set. Has some different songs too. Excellent playing and sound. I would love to see this on DVD.

4 out of 5 stars Another great Monk live CD.......2004-10-19

This is a different concert than the, "Monk in Tokyo" CD by Sony. It was recorded at TBS-TV Studios, Tokyo, Japan, May 23, 1963. Musicians on this date were: Charlie Rouse, Thelonious Monk, Butch Warren, and Frankie Dunlop.

Great audio quality and great playing! If you liked "Monk in Italy" and "Monk in France" you love this CD.

This concert was also available as a laserdisc with excellent picture quality, unfortunately it is now out of print. You can see a clip of it in Clint Eastwood's Monk documentary, "Just a Gigolo" was taken from this concert.

For some odd reason this concert is not being issued by a major label, could it be a boot? Availability is scarce I'm sure, so if you see it, don't hesitate buy it!
