reception
Jim Santilla reviewed the expanded new edition in All About Jazz in 2001 : “Usually Monk plays the introduction himself. He creates a gentle mood and expresses slight movement. In these quieter moments, the coughing and lively conversation in the room shows up. As soon as the Trio Monk joins, there is no more room for other sounds. Charlie Rouse, Larry Gales and Ben Riley make a fire that never goes out. Each of the artists has solos on occasion; however, both Monk and Rouse are at the forefront. The repetition that exists under the song titles is simply due to the fact that Monk made some of the same choices on the second night. The versions are equivalent, but changes make them of value to the listener. The previously unpublished version of 'Bright Mississippi', for example, is almost three times as long as the published one and offers the listener a lot more. "
