The record
A promo 78 with the trio pared to essentials: Thelonious Monk at the piano, Gary Mapp on bass, Art Blakey on drums. Two sides, 'Little Rootie Tootie' and 'Monk's Dream', on ten-inch shellac as Prestige 850. Blakey behind Monk is the draw -- two players who hear rhythm the same crooked way.
