Trumpet (or cornet (or, in this case, flugelhorn )) with piano, bass, and drums is an absolute favorite quartet formation.

Thelonious Monk - Underground LP cover. In a Grammy-winning shot, Monk sits at a piano in a sepia toned shot, as a French revolutionary, machine gun slung over his shoulder. Yes, really. The bright orange LP plays vertically on a Miniot Wheel 3 linear-tracking turntable to the right.
Thelonious Monk - Underground
It's weird to think this 1968 release (the cover, depicting Monk as a french resistance fighter, gun and all, won a Grammy) is Monk's next-to-last LP, and the last with his final quartet.
Monk is the 2nd most recorded jazz composer […]

This photo shows a classic jazz reissue album featuring the legendary trumpeter Harry James. The Album: "More Harry James in Hi-Fi" Released on Pausa Records (Jazz Origin Series) Catalog number PR 9037 Album Design: Bold black text "HARRY JAMES." across the top Meta-design showing multiple copies of Harry James album covers arranged in a grid Central photograph of Harry James in a sharp suit holding his trumpet Black and white photography Text reads "more harry james in hi-fi" in stylized lettering Clean, modernist layout typical of 1950s-60s jazz design About Harry James: Harry James (1916-1983) was one of the most popular big band leaders and trumpeters of the swing era. Known for his brilliant technique and lyrical playing, he led one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1940s and helped launch the careers of vocalists like Frank Sinatra and Dick Haymes. The Setting: Displayed in a collection space with the warm yellow string lights creating ambiance in the background. A wooden nude sculpture is visible on the illuminated shelf behind, along with an extensive record collection on the left. A classic swing era trumpeter in my jazz collection, bridging the gap between the big band era and modern jazz. ALT by Claude
This photo shows a classic soul and R&B albums opened in a gatefold display, showcasing contrasting but equally striking cover art. Left side (Album back side): "Leon Thomas - Blues and the Soulful Truth" Portrait of Leon Thomas wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat Colorful patterned shirt Contemplative pose with hands clasped Natural outdoor setting with green bokeh background Warm, earthy tones Right side (Album front side): Beautiful psychedelic/spiritual artwork Profile of a face tilted upward in an ecstatic or transcendent expression Elaborate swirling clouds in soft pastels - pinks, oranges, blues, yellows, grays Dreamlike, cosmic aesthetic typical of early 1970s soul/jazz album art The flowing, organic shapes suggest spiritual elevation or consciousness expansion About Leon Thomas: Leon Thomas (1937-1999) was a pioneering vocalist known for his distinctive yodeling technique and his work with Pharoah Sanders and other avant-garde jazz artists. His music blended blues, soul, jazz, and spiritual/cosmic elements. The Setting: A collection space with exposed brick visible, a wooden nude sculpture and string lights glowing in the background, extensive vinyl collection on shelves. The gatefold format allows both covers to be displayed simultaneously, showing the album's complete artistic vision. A beautiful example of early 1970s spiritual jazz/soul album artwork and design.

This photo shows a historic jazz album with dramatic black and white photography and handwritten notes. The Album: Thelonious Monk album Subtitle: "les liaisons dangereuses - 1960" (Dangerous Liaisons) The Monk logo (stylized "M" with musical note) visible in white Album Design: Striking black and white photography Moody, atmospheric close-up of Monk Dark tones with dramatic lighting creating deep shadows Monk appears to be smoking, captured in profile/three-quarter view Artistic, cinematic quality befitting a film soundtrack About the Album: This is the soundtrack Thelonious Monk recorded for Roger Vadim's 1959 French film Les Liaisons dangereuses (based on the classic 18th-century novel). The film was a modern adaptation set in contemporary France, and Monk's music provided a perfect jazz noir accompaniment. This is one of the rare instances where Monk composed for film. The Setting: A collection space with warm string lights creating ambiance behind a wooden nude sculpture, extensive book collection visible on the upper shelves, and additional records below. A culturally significant album bridging jazz and French New Wave cinema - perfectly aligned with interests in both jazz and French film. ALT by Claude

The photo shows a vinyl record displayed on a small wooden stand in a room. The album cover is predominantly red with a black-and-white image of a man pointing, featuring bold, staggered text that reads "THELONIOUS MONK" with the subtitle "genius of modern music" and "volume two blue note 1511." In the background, there is a small green frog figurine, a black box with knobs, a handwritten note on a chalkboard-style sign, and part of a white door. The floor is wooden, and a horse figurine is partially visible on the right side.

This morning’s listening - Trane as a sideman! Some incredible music on here - his playing on Red Garland’s recording of Billie’s Bounce is one of “my favorite things” he’s ever done! (See what I did there? Haha)
