A Dream of a One Step&nbsp;<i>Monk’s Dream</i>&nbsp; From Mo-Fi

Posted on by Michael Fremer
If you’re saying Monk’s creative juices had begun to dry up by the time he signed with Columbia Records and released this 1963 label debut album you’ll get no argument from me. But Monk, all of 46 when this was recorded, had a secret weapon: his rock’n’roll band of the hard-blowing Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, John Ore on bass and Frankie Dunlop on drums. They rocked!
