Thelonious Monk - Underground (1968)

I recently scored the bonus track laden "Special Edition" on MusicBoomerang. :cheer:

AMG sez:

This release has long been considered Thelonious Monk's acknowledgement to the flourishing youth-oriented subculture from whence the collection takes its name. Certainly the Grammy-winning cover art -- which depicts Monk as a World War II French revolutionary toting an automatic weapon -- gave the establishment more than the brilliant swinging sounds in the grooves to consider. Underground became Monk's penultimate studio album, as well as the final release to feature the '60s quartet: Charlie Rouse(tenor sax), Ben Riley (drums), and Larry Gales (bass) behind Monk (piano).

:5.0: on the Sam-O-Meter.
