J.R. Monterose & Sal Nistico - NYC 1979

Here's the third and last J.R. Monterose recording. This is a great WKCR FM studio session featuring Monterose and Sal Nistico on tenors, backed by Bill Triglia on piano, Todd Coolman on bass, and Jimmy Wormworth on drums.

This is my own edit of a show I got from dime years ago - thanks a lot to the seeder!
I deleted the radio banter (but retained the interview, of course) and fixed some minor things, but didn't change anything about the sound.

Notes:
Missing "Invitation" between "Hi-Fly" and "Sonnymoon for Two."
Only minor edits were made and no audio treatment was applied to this set, thus there is some open air hiss present. Accordingly, a noise floor sample has been included for those wishing to use noise reduction to their liking.
