Reissue with latest 2014 DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. Charlie Rouse? Wasn't he the one that played with Theloniious Monk ? Well, yes. And certainly there's an argument that his recordings with Monk are his best work - probably the combination of intriguing compositions with the opportunity to work them over and over to find something new and equally satisfying in the each time - but Rouse was also a leader in his own right. Take, for example, his work with Julius Watkins (french horn) in Les Jazz Modes, the "Takin' Care of Business" album (issued on CD by OJC) and as co-leader of Sphere (not the Monk-tribute band it seems to have gone down in history as being).
