One of Thelonious Monk's rare appearances as a sideman is on this quartet set led by flügelhornist Clark Terry. With bassist Sam Jones and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Terry and pianist Monk perform a set that surprisingly has only one Monk song (&Let's Cool One&). Among the high points of this spirited, boppish date are Terry's &One Foot in the Gutter& and &Argentia.&
