Description

Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference

Clark Terry

with Thelonius Monk


Jazzland ?– JLP 996, Jazzland ?– 996  Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, Reissue 1963 (US)


Review:  Mike Tarrani  5.0 out of 5 stars  Not an essential album, but definitely an enjoyable one!

I am not sure why this album eluded me for so long. I discovered it looking for albums featuring Philly Joe Jones, who is a curious choice for drummer on this one given Monk's penchant for drummers with a lighter touch. But this is Clark Terry's album with Monk as a sideman.

Monk does make his presence known, like a proverbial imp escaping a bottle, but he is mainly holding down the rhythm section with some excellent straight ahead comping interspersed with equally straight ahead solo and fill work. He also lays out in some spots when you least expect it.

Six of the ten tracks are Terry's own compositions (tracks 1, 2,5, 6, 8 and 10), with a single composition by Monk (track 4).

This was recorded for Riverside in NYC on May 7 and 12, 1958. In addition to Terry, Monk and Philly Joe Jones, Sam Jones is in the rhythm section as bassist. This may not be essential Monk (or even Terry), but if you are a fan of either or both you will probably enjoy the album.
