Description

J. R. MONTEROSE
THE MESSAGE (1959)

J.R. Monterose (not to be confused with fellow tenor Jack Montrose) is most famous for a gig that he personally did not enjoy, playing with Charles Mingus in 1956 and recording on Mingus' breakthrough album 'Pithecanthropus Erectus.'

He grew up in Utica, NY, played in territory bands in the Midwest, and then moved to New York City in the early '50s. Monterose played with Buddy Rich (1952) and Claude Thornhill and recorded with (among others) Teddy Charles, Jon Eardley, and Eddie Bert. After leaving Mingus (whom he did not get along with), Monterose played with Kenny Dorham's Jazz Prophets and recorded a strong set for Blue Note as a leader. [Scott Yanow - All Music Guide]

This is one of his rarest albums, a set he cut for Jaro Records in 1959. On the session with him are Tommy Flanagan on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass and Pete LaRoca on drums. This is a beautiful DEEP GROOVE original pressing and is just like new.
