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