"In the fall of 1968, a sixteen-year old high school student named Danny Scher had a dream to invite legendary jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk and his all-star quartet to perform a concert at his local high school in Palo Alto, CA. In a series of twists and turns, against a backdrop of racial tension and political volatility, that concert was recorded by the school’s janitor. The vibrant 47-minute album spotlights Monk’s steady touring band and features his touring repertoire, which were his finest compositions. In many ways, Thelonious Monk was at the pinnacle of his career in 1968– his quartet was at its best musically, and he was still riding high in the public eye, having sustained his popularity since appearing on the cover of TIME Magazine a couple of years prior. However, behind the scenes finances were strained and his health had deteriorated. When he got a call in the middle of his three-week run at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco, he listened to the teen on the other end of the receiver. Perhaps he was moved by the young promoter’s gumption. And so it came to be that on October 27, 1968, Thelonious Monk and his quartet climbed out of the Scher family van and walked through a rainy parking lot full of stunned Palo Alto and East Palo Alto residents, into Palo Alto High School’s auditorium and delivered a stellar, energetic and historic 47-minute set. Included in the mix is Monk’s lyrical love song 'Ruby, My Dear' (Charlie Rouse boldly blowing the melody with Monk comping in his unique oblique way then taking the lead with a dazzling solo); the dynamic and spirited 'Well, You Needn’t' taken for a 13-minute ride with solos by all members; the pianist’s captivating solo reading of 'Don’t Blame Me' by Jimmy McHugh; an epic dance through 'Blue Monk'; and a playful charge through 'Epistrophy.' The show ends with a truncated encore of Monk slowly striding through the 1925 Tin Pan Alley hit tune by Rudy Vallee, 'I Love You Sweetheart of All My Dreams' and after a standing ovation saying his goodbye because they had to leave to make their San Francisco date that evening." - Impulse!
