Experience the magic of jazz with the iconic album Milt Jackson & Thelonious Monk Quintet. This essential collection showcases vibraphonist Milt Jackson’s brilliance, captured during the bebop era. Known for his frequent collaborations on Blue Note sessions, Jackson’s artistry shines in this album, which is part of the legendary 1500 Series initiated in 1956.
The album features a selection of tracks from the original 10-inch LP, Wizard of the Vibes, along with recordings from 1948 and 1951, led by the renowned Thelonious Monk. The artwork, the first by Reid Miles, enhances the album’s vintage appeal.
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is meticulously all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on high-quality 180g vinyl at Optimal. It’s not just a record; it’s a piece of musical history that every collector should own.
