More Info:

2008 archive release from the Jazz great recorded in Europe in the '60s. Sahib Shihab's Companionship features Kenny Clarke, Benny Bailey, Francy Bolan, Milt Jackson, Ake Persson and Jimmy Woode. Sahib Shihab was, in many ways, the Thelonious Monk of the baritone saxophone. Like Monk, he was an uncompromising individualist with an idiosyncratic, often quirky, approach to improvisation. And, in fact, Shihab and Monk had a strong mutual affinity. They worked together in the late '40s and early '50 and became good friends. Shihab admired Monk for his oblique approach to Jazz and his resolute nonconformity and he shared much of Monk's musical philosophy. 20 tracks.
