Monk's Casino - Hamburg 1999

And finally, one for young and old, tall and short, smart and dumb... the all encompassing music of one Thelonious Monk, performed by the great group "Die Enttäuschung" with Alexander von Schlippenbach at the piano. Don't miss this one!

It took me a while to figure this out, with the help of the official release on Intakt records, and to re-track it as nicely as possible - hope you'll enjoy it! It's to my knowledge the most complete of the live recordings to be found by this group (well, there may be complete AUD versions, but this one is in perfect FM quality)!
