The legendary jazz pianist’s 1968 concert at Palo Alto High School, recorded by a janitor and shelved for decades, captures some of the fiercest, most spirited versions of his quartet’s core repertoire. The design reflects the raw, unfiltered energy of the live performance, encapsulating both the spontaneity and brilliance of Monk’s playing.
