A program for the 1966 Detroit Jazz Festival, beautifully signed by Thelonious Monk (who adds “Good luck always”).  This is one of the most extraordinary signed Monk items we’ve seen; his large signature measures 6 1/2″ and in the sweet spot next to his photograph.

The program is also signed by longtime Monk saxophonist Charlie Rouse, and legendary concert promoter George Wein.  Other performers appearing at the festival include John Coltrane, Sarah Vaughan, the Dave Brubeck Quartet and Clark Terry & J.J. Johnson.

The front cover has a bit of moisture rippling and ink loss, not affecting the program’s pages, which are in excellent condition.  A superb Monk autograph.  With Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
