Past Present: Thelonious Monk Quartet, 1948

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010

Hear a gem from WNYC's archives. Today's Past Present segment is the Thelonious Monk Quartet, with Monk on piano, Idrees Sulieman on trumpet, Curly Russell on bass, and Art Blakey on drums. They're playing the standard "All the Things You Are." It originally aired on February 16, 1948, as part of the American Music Festival.
