J.R. Monterose - 1970 / Warne Marsh - 1980 - In Copenhagen with Kenny Drew

Here's the first of the few in-circulation live shows by the great J.R. Monterose.
His discography can be found on Mike Fitzgerald's page.

The Warne Marsh part seems to be commercially available on Storyville.

Apologies for including it here, but I only just realized this has been released. It's in circulation among traders, alas. But the good news is that the Storyville disc has plenty of additional titles and hence should be an attractive buy!
I'm just sending in an order now!
