Monk in Focus
"Throughout the 1960s, Monk had what I consider his most solid and dependable quartet who best understood and interpreted the entire 'Monk Playbook.' Tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, his frontline soloist who worked so smoothly within the leader's irregular, angular lines, really was the perfect fit. There was nothing showy or bombastic about Monk when he was on the bandstand, just like here, looking on with quiet intensity, while Rouse was in command."
