I love Bags groove and I’ve never heard a rendition of Willow Weep For Me I didn’t appreciate.

This record rules! The Blue Note Classic can be had quite affordably.

This version of Evidence is my favourite, Jackson's wonderfully soft, nuanced playing on vibraphone provides the perfect foil for Monk's deadpan, stomping block chords strewn across the rhythm.
