Recorded in November 1961. Originally released on New Jazz (8271). All tracks have been digitally remastered. Soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy continued his early exploration of Thelonious Monk's compositions on this 1961 Prestige date, Evidence. Lacy worked extensively with Monk, absorbing the pianist's intricate music and adding his individualist soprano saxophone mark to it. On this date, he employs the equally impressive Don Cherry on trumpet, who was playing with the Ornette Coleman quartet at the time, drummer Billy Higgins, who played with both Coleman and Monk, and bassist Carl Brown. Cherry proved capable of playing outside the jagged lines he formulated with Coleman, being just as complimentary and exciting in Monk's arena with Lacy. Out of the six tracks, four are Monk's compositions while the remaining are lesser known Ellington numbers: "The Mystery Song" and "Something to Live For" (co-written with Billy Strayhorn). ~ Al Campbell Musical Guests Billy Higgins   Compilation Appearances Prestige Profiles Live In Montreal Mastercuts Jazz Cafe   Associated Artists and Works Artists, Various Bailey, Derek Bailey, Derek Coxhill, Lol Opium [Digipak] ~ Dixon, Bill Paris Blues ~ Evans, Gil Evans, Gil Mengelberg, Misha Parker, Evan Rudd, Roswell Various Artists Various Artists Waldron, Mal Waldron, Mal Waldron, Mal Waldron, Mal Wedgle, Barry   Technical Info Release Date : 01/15/1991 Original Release Date : 1961 Catalog ID : 1755 Label : Original Jazz Classics Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 34m : 0s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mixed SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00025218175524    Product Image
