This album showcases Thelonious Monk's solo piano takes on various classic tunes and some of his own compositions. You can really hear his stride piano background shining through; it's interesting to note that his more distinctive, jagged, and dissonant style would come later. Compared to his later work, these performances might seem a bit tame. The most harmonically complex track here is "These Foolish Things". Monk's playing throughout is assured, deliberate, and introspective. Standout tracks include "Ruby My Dear", "Ask Me Now", and "Sweet And Lovely". If you compare these versions to his later interpretations, you can really hear how much he evolved those pieces. The recording quality is excellent, with the piano sounding rich and authentic. There's not a ton of bass, but it's consistent with the piano being used. This is a '70s reissue. Worth checking out.
Pallas Press quality, made in Germany. SQ is fantastic, record is flat and perfectly centered. Awesome RE.
I first got to know Monk through this album. I'm thrilled to finally own it on CD.
Monk fans will be blown away by this record's quality.
This copy is fantastic for such a gorgeous album. The pressing has excellent dynamics, not dull, not squashed... pure joy!
