Valuable titles from the BMM label—which enjoyed immense popularity among fans by focusing on genres like jazz and blues where collector's items were previously scarce—are now available in the "Necromancer" series, an official budget-priced reissue line.

This release features ultra-rare recordings by Thelonious Monk. It captures the complete concert from Zurich on February 26, 1964—dating from the latter part of his most prolific period of touring and recording—sourced from an FM broadcast master and offering high-quality soundboard audio. These are superb performances that allow listeners to fully enjoy Monk's signature style: swinging yet orthodox. An essential addition to any Monk fan's collection.
