 Biographical Note

Paul Jeffrey was a saxophonist who performed as a member of Thelonious Monk's band from 1970 to 1976.

Thelonious Monk (born Rocky Mount, N.C., 10 Oct 1917; died Englewood, N.J., 17 Feb 1982) was an innovative and highly influential jazz pianist and composer. After working as house pianist at Minton's Playhouse in Harlem, Monk went on to perform and record with musicians including Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and many others. Monk began recording as a leader of his own groups in 1947, working with Blue Note, Prestige, Riverside, and Columbia Records. His final studio recording session took place in 1971, and his final public concert was in 1976. He spent his remaining years largely retired from public life, living as a guest in the home of his long-standing patron Nica de Koenigswarter. Monk passed away in 1982 due to complications from a stroke.

 Collection Overview

In March 1970, Monk hired saxophonist Paul Jeffrey to join his working band for a six-day run at the Frog and Nightgown club in Raleigh, N.C. Jeffrey continued performing and touring with Monk through 1976, when Monk ceased his public appearances. Jeffrey made personal open reel audio recordings of many of the concerts, and fourteen of the surviving reels comprise this collection.
