From the always delightful Open Culture:
They write:
A little present for what would be Thelonius Monk’s 95th birthday[Wednesday] — 100 grand minutes of Monk performing live in Oslo and Copenhagen in 1966. In the spring of that year, Monk brought his legendary quartet (tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Larry Gales, and drummer Ben Riley) to Scandinavia to perform two televised shows. The recording, saved for posterity thanks to YouTube, features some Monk classics: Blue Monk, Epistrophy, Round Midnight and others. Sit back and enjoy.
The tunes, in order, are “Lulu’s Back In Town,” “Blue Monk,” “‘Round Midnight.” “Lulu’s Back In Town” [reprise], “Don’t Blame Me,” and “Epistrophy.” The recordings were made in the same year we discovered the glories of jazz.
