5 out of 5 stars Great alto playing.......2000-01-26

This is a very fine record. Most of the tunes are Monk compositions that were included on the LP that won the Golden Record for best jazz record of the year in Sweden by Orkesterjournalen (the oldest jazz magazine in the world).

The band is very fine, indeed. The pianist, Åke Johansson (Chet Baker's favorite sideman when appearing in Sweden), plays with real inspiration in his very personal (Bud Powell inspired) style.

The star of the record is, however, mr Boustedt, (who sadly died in a young age). He plays these marvellous compositions with great authority.

To those who love Monk's music and great alto sax playing: Go buy this record!
