That John Coltrane played with Thelonious Monk in 1957 remains one of those astounding miracles. The album contains three unforgettable tracks featuring Monk and Coltrane grooving away beautifully. \"Ruby, My Dear\" contains a mellow, lush feel suitable for sitting back, \"Trinkle, Tinkle,\" a definitely interesting Monk-ish title, showcases Coltrane's insane chops and \"Nutty,\" one of Monk's most beguilingly catchy tunes. Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane melded together inexplicably and created some of the most amazing tracks ever laid down in the name of jazz.

Monk Live in Paris, 1967 Volume One will be Available on 180-Gram Vinyl on April 24, 2026, via the Thelonious Monk Estate's Rhythm-A-Ning Entertainment Captured at the Height of Monk's Creative Powers, this Historic Performance Showcases the Pianist and Composer with His Classic Quartet: Charlie Rouse (tenor saxophone), Larry Gales (bass), and Ben Riley (drums)For it's first 70 years, the profound art of jazz made originality, singularity and unrestricted vision prime requisites of it's expression - not just in musicality, but also in personality, image, style and demeanor. The unparalleled composer\/pianist\/visionary Thelonious Sphere Monk epitomized every aspect of this in exponential form. As a result, he occupies a unique position in the Jazz Pantheon. Every aspect of this extraordinary man epitomizes jazz expression at it's most compelling level. His visual presence - his headwear, his glasses, his sartorial style - matched with his remarkably profound verbal statements, the way he danced around the piano during other musicians' solos; and even more importantly, his brilliant compositions that are both starkly angular, yet gorgeously lyrical, and matched by his piano playing which made dissonance and fractured rhythms so utterly delightful, make Thelonious Monk stand out dynamically even amidst his other transcendent peers. Capitalizing on all of this, the Monk Estate is launching a comprehensive plan to launch a new ongoing series of archival recordings under it's authorized control of material that has been circulated for years as bootlegs - and is doing so with clever brand marketing that will further express the legendary presence and spirit of this singular iconoclast. The initial release, Monk Live in Paris, 1967 Volume One, is very special, not only for it's merging of these elements, but also because it showcases Monk's longstanding quartet featuring tenor man Charlie Rouse and the bass\/drums tandem of Larry Gales and Ben Riley, who are joined by five very special guest horn men. Alto saxophonist Phil Woods, trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, Ray Copeland and tenor titan Johnny Griffin (Rouse's predecessor in the quartet) perform in various permutations - with the full nonet, including trumpet legend Clark Terry, coming together in Volume Two of this wonderful concert recording (to be released October 9, 2026). Volume One includes four Monk classics (an apt description of virtually every one of his compositions) - 'Epistrophy, ' with a scorching, growlingly muscular Griffin solo and a lyrical and adventurous Copeland solo; the deliciously syncopated 'Evidence, ' with sparkling Rouse, another terrific solo by Copeland; and bluesy, wickedly swinging Woods. On both extended pieces, the four horns provide densely harmonic thematic statements and some adventurous riffing that spurs on the soloists for a spontaneous feeling with a jam session atmosphere of jubilant excitement. 'We See, ' again highlights Rouse and Copeland; with the beautiful 'Ruby, My Dear' just featuring the original quartet completing the package. Of course, Monk brings his totally singular piano stylings to each piece; and Gales and Riley both offer their own outstanding contributions as well. Monk's son, T. S. Monk, says Monk Live in Paris was chosen to showcase the caliber of musicians who traveled with Monk, though not excluding Charlie Rouse, who is most familiar to his public. 'Giants like Rollins and Coltrane, Abdul Malik, Roy Haynes or Art Blakey, Mingus and Max Roach spent much time with Monk, but they didn't travel that much, ' Monk says. 'People are quite aware of his touring and recording quartet, his colleagues as a young man at Minton's Playhouse, like Dizzy, Bird, Charlie Christian, Red Rodney, Kenny Clarke and so on. His touring with larger ensembles especially in Europe, not as much. The Clark Terry's, Phil Woods, Thad Jones', the Jimmy Cleveland's, Johnny Griffin's and others highlight the respect his peers had for him. Men in some cases that often led their own bands. These musicians traveled for the art as much as the money! In some cases, more so! They all loved Monk and their presence is a tribute to his artistry. ' 'Thelonious Monk never wrote music to fit a system, ' TS Monk says. 'He wrote to expand imagination and move the culture forward. We've spent years navigating piracy, legacy structures, and an industry not always built for artist control. This album release marks a shift - stewarded independently, handled with intention, and delivered directly to listeners. Legacy isn't something you just inherit - it's something you defend and reinvent. This is a milestone not just for our family, but for anyone who believes in art over formula. ' The recording is presented as a 180-gram audiophile pressing and was selected by Thelonious Sphere Monk III as the first in a new series of previously unreleased, rare live recordings, mastered by Rudy Van Gelder.

The 'High Priest' of bebop had reached a further pinnacle in his career and performed with his fantastic, skilful and well-rehearsed quartet at numerous festivals and concerts. As if in a dream, the musicians penetrate the apparently simple yet rhythmically complicated themes, interrupted again and again by Monk's solo escapades on the piano. On the stage, Monk often stood up and jigged around the piano like a lumbering dancing bear, with one of his distinctive hats on his head; he plonks down on the piano stool after the Charlie Rouse solo; his enormous feet tap back and forth to the beat; he constantly fiddles with the ring on his finger; and he creates the most wonderful improvisations ever heard with his 'false' fingering.Calling all jazz fans: Listen to Thelonious Monk, and you will have a ball - most especially if you put this super disc with the promising title \"It's Monks Time\" on your turntable!.\" Recording: January - March 1964Production: Teo Macero.\" \"It's Monk's Time\" - Thelonious Monk (p); Charlie Rouse (ts); Butch Warren (b); Ben Riley (dr).\" standard sleeve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Lulu's Back in Town \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Memories of You \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Stuffy Turkey \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Brake's Sake \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Nice Work If You Can Get It \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Shuffle Boil\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50334643683685,"sku":"VL1-46413130","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/4683\/7861\/files\/1998339-3630011.jpg?v=1788199986"},{"product_id":"monk-thelonious-big-band-and-quartet-in-concert-vinyl-lp","title":"Thelonious Monk: Big Band and Quartet in Concert - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eBig Band and Quartet in Concert\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eThelonious Monk\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eSpeakers Corner\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e4260019715067\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eJazz\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2026-09-04\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003e180 GRAM VINYL, REISSUE\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n ?Thelonious Monk could walk from his flat to New York's famous Philharmonic Hall on the corner of 64th Street and Broadway when he made his very first appearance there with his Big Band in December 1963. And the other musicians could get there on the underground: Phil Woods, Steve Lacy, Thad Jones - all of them were members of Monk's closest circle of collaborators. It is no wonder then that the well-known themes were highly agreeable and harmonious. \"I Mean You\", \"Four In One\" and \"Epistrophy\" resounded through the auditorium, the audience was thrilled, Thelonious laughed and danced and a short while later fans could listen to parts of the concert on a recording released by Columbia Records. In a break for a smoke, Monk sat himself down at the piano and played \"Darkness On The Delta\" - nocturnal atmosphere pure. Does it bear the patina of times long past? Absolutely not!

Monk is among the most moving piano players ever to stroke the keys. His masterful use of silence and surprise forces you to become entwined in the melody, to enter the song. Step into the world of master artist Thelonious Monk, and embrace the melody and mystique that was his to command. One would expect marvelous renditions of \"'Round Midnight\" and \"Ruby My Dear\", and Monk delivers. Equally precious are the performances of lesser-known original gems such as Introspection and \"Ask Me Now\", and the bravura renditions of standard-bearers such as \"I'm Confessin' That I Love You\", \"Dinah\", and the immortal ballad \"Body and Soul\".

He would not record another studio album for Riverside after 5 by Monk by 5, and a significant number of live albums followed, which showcased a variety of legendary performances across the USA, France and Italy. In 1962, Monk signed to Columbia Records. Working with producer Teo Macero on his debut for the label, the sessions in the first week of November had a stable line-up that had been with him for two years, Monk's Dream, was released in 1963. Columbia's resources allowed Monk to be promoted more heavily than earlier in his career. The album would become the best-selling LP of his lifetime, and on February 28, 1964, he appeared on the cover of Time magazine, being featured in the article \"The Loneliest Monk\". He continued to record studio albums, including Criss Cross, also from 1963, and Underground, from 1968. Monk had disappeared from the scene by the mid-1970s, and made only a small number of appearances during the final decade of his life. His last studio recordings as a leader were made in November 1971 for the English Black Lion label, near the end of a worldwide tour with the Giants of Jazz, a group which included Dizzy Gillespie, Kai Winding, Sonny Stitt, Al McKibbon and Art Blakey. The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz was established in 1986 by the Monk family and Maria Fisher. It's mission to offer public school-based jazz education programs for young people around the globe, helping students develop imaginative thinking, creativity, curiosity, a positive self-image, and a respect for their own and others' cultural heritage. In addition to hosting an annual International Jazz Competition since 1987, the Institute also recently helped, through it's partnership with UNESCO, designate April 30, 2012, as the first annual International Jazz Day. Monk was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2009.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Ruby, My Dear 6:22 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Trinkle, Tinkle 6:40 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Off Minor 5:16 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Nutty 6:38 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Epistrophy 3:10 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Functional 9:42 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 April in Paris 3:53 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 (I Don't Stand) a Ghost of a Chance with You 4:25 \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Functional 9:19 \u003cbr\u003e1.10 I'm Getting Sentimental Over You 4:07 \u003cbr\u003e1.11 I Should Care 3:16 \u003cbr\u003e1.12 'Round Midnight 6:43 \u003cbr\u003e1.13 All Alone 4:54 \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Monk's Mood 7:54 \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Evidence 6:41 \u003cbr\u003e2.2 In Walked Bud 6:34 \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Blue Monk 7:48 \u003cbr\u003e2.4 I Mean You 7:57 \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Rhythm-A-Ning 7:15 \u003cbr\u003e2.6 Purple Shades 7:38 \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Light Blue 5:10 \u003cbr\u003e2.8 Coming on the Hudson 5:21 \u003cbr\u003e2.9 Rhythm-A-Ning 9:25 \u003cbr\u003e2.10 Epistrophy (Theme) 0:56 \u003cbr\u003e2.11 Blue Monk 8:27 \u003cbr\u003e2.12 Evidence 8:48 \u003cbr\u003e2.13 Epistrophy (Theme) 0:59 \u003cbr\u003e3.1 Nutty 5:18 \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Blues Five Spot 8:08 \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Let's Cool One 9:12 \u003cbr\u003e3.4 In Walked Bud 11:17 \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Just a Gigolo 2:07 \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Misterioso 10:49 \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Blue Monk 3:38 \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Ruby, My Dear 3:53 \u003cbr\u003e3.9 Round Lights 3:30 \u003cbr\u003e3.10 Everything Happens to Me 5:32 \u003cbr\u003e3.11 Bluehawk 3:34 \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Pannonica 3:47 \u003cbr\u003e3.13 Remember 2:32 \u003cbr\u003e3.14 There's Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie 3:44 \u003cbr\u003e3.15 Reflections 5:01 \u003cbr\u003e4.1 Thelonious 3:04 \u003cbr\u003e4.2 Friday the 13th 9:32 \u003cbr\u003e4.3 Little Rootie Tootie 8:56 \u003cbr\u003e4.4 Off Minor 7:56 \u003cbr\u003e4.5 Crepuscule with Nellie 4:53 \u003cbr\u003e4.6 Jackie-Ing 6:10 \u003cbr\u003e4.7 Straight, No Chaser 9:23 \u003cbr\u003e4.8 Played Twice 8:01 \u003cbr\u003e4.9 I Mean You 9:50 \u003cbr\u003e4.10 Ask Me Now 10:46 \u003cbr\u003e5.1 Let's Call This 8:03 \u003cbr\u003e5.2 Four in One 8:41 \u003cbr\u003e5.3 I'm Getting Sentimental Over You 6:14 \u003cbr\u003e5.4 Worry Later 9:10 \u003cbr\u003e5.5 Epistrophy 0:59 \u003cbr\u003e5.6 Well, You Needn't 11:31 \u003cbr\u003e5.7 Off Minor 11:42 \u003cbr\u003e5.8 Just a Gigolo 1:43 \u003cbr\u003e5.9 I Mean You 11:02 \u003cbr\u003e5.10 Hackensack 9:46\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50334852481381,"sku":"VL1-28733454","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/4683\/7861\/files\/2951818.jpg?v=1788200213"},{"product_id":"monk-thelonious-genius-of-modern-music-vol-1","title":"Thelonious Monk: Genius Of Modern Music Vol 1 - CD","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eGenius Of Modern Music Vol 1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eThelonious Monk\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eUniversal\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e4988031193433\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eJazz\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2016-12-23\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eJAPAN - IMPORT, SUPER-HIGH MATERIAL CD\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50334856446309,"sku":"VL1-31703765","price":5.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/4683\/7861\/files\/3488296.jpg?v=1788200217"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-at-newport-1963","title":"Thelonious Monk: At Newport 1963 - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eAt Newport 1963\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eThelonious Monk\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eNaked Lunch\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e7427116347646\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eJazz\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2020-12-25\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n The legendary Thelonious Monk's appearance at the legendary Newport festival in 1963 when the so-called \"High Priest of Bop\" brought one of his greatest quartets featuring master Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Butch Warren on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums.

Piano\/composer Thelonious Monk was already over two decades into his career when he began to visit Europe in earnest. Europeans were excited to experience Monk and his storied personality, often focusing as much on his appearance and idiosyncratic behavior ahead of the music. \/\/ The release of Bremen 1965 finds the legend on his second tour to feature stops in Germany with his seasoned quartet featuring his longtime saxophone foil, Charlie Rouse, along with bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley. Bremen, Germany was the second stop on the quartet's world tour, which would include much of Europe, Australia, and Japan. The recording was made on March 8, 1965, in Radio Bremen's storied Sendesaal \/ Studio F in front of an anticipative audience. Bremen 1965 is the first official release of the concert, mastered from the original tapes held in the Radio Bremen vaults under the guidance and blessings of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), Radio Bremen, and T.S. Monk. The release will be available in a handful of formats, including digitally along with double CD and LP record sets. Included with the physical releases is a researched set of liner notes from Sunnyside's Bret Sjerven.The recording catches Monk just after some notable transitions. The pianist left his former label, Riverside Records, for Columbia Records, where his most recent release, It's Monk's Time, was fresh off the presses when the quartet arrived in Europe in 1965. There had also been a change in the rhythm section, as bassist John Ore and drummer Frankie Dunlop had been replaced by Larry Gales and Ben Riley, who would both appear on Monk's next studio recording, Monk. The long performance captures unique takes of Monk classics, like \"Criss Cross, \" \"Well You Needn't, \" \"Epistrophy, \" and \"Rhythm-a-ning, \" along with standards that Monk continued to find inspiring, including \"Sweet and Lovely, \" \"I'm Getting Sentimental Over You, \" and \"Don't Blame Me.\" Long, loose takes on these pieces allow for listeners to experience Monk and company's ability to swing, duel, and sing in their most unparalleled fashion. The music of Thelonious Monk remains eternally and monumentally singular in approach and conception. Monk's interpretations of his tunes and those of others have left lasting impressions on the genre of jazz.

Piano\/composer Thelonious Monk was already over two decades into his career when he began to visit Europe in earnest. Europeans were excited to experience Monk and his storied personality, often focusing as much on his appearance and idiosyncratic behavior ahead of the music. \/\/ The release of Bremen 1965 finds the legend on his second tour to feature stops in Germany with his seasoned quartet featuring his longtime saxophone foil, Charlie Rouse, along with bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley. Bremen, Germany was the second stop on the quartet's world tour, which would include much of Europe, Australia, and Japan. The recording was made on March 8, 1965, in Radio Bremen's storied Sendesaal \/ Studio F in front of an anticipative audience. Bremen 1965 is the first official release of the concert, mastered from the original tapes held in the Radio Bremen vaults under the guidance and blessings of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), Radio Bremen, and T.S. Monk. The release will be available in a handful of formats, including digitally along with double CD and LP record sets. Included with the physical releases is a researched set of liner notes from Sunnyside's Bret Sjerven.The recording catches Monk just after some notable transitions. The pianist left his former label, Riverside Records, for Columbia Records, where his most recent release, It's Monk's Time, was fresh off the presses when the quartet arrived in Europe in 1965. There had also been a change in the rhythm section, as bassist John Ore and drummer Frankie Dunlop had been replaced by Larry Gales and Ben Riley, who would both appear on Monk's next studio recording, Monk.

Thelonious Monk once famously said \"the piano ain't got no wrong notes\", and this mantra is evident in his playing: full of angular, challenging harmonies combined with a harsh and percussive technique. Though his style of playing was unorthodox, he could also play runs and arpeggios with great speed and accuracy. All in all Monk would prove to be a long-lasting influence on jazz piano. All this is highlighted on 1967's Straight, No Chaser, Monk's sixth album for Columbia. On it, you'll find the album's namesake \"Straight, No Chaser\", a composition by Thelonious himself that became one of the most important blues-based standards in the jazz repertoire. Furthermore, the album features \"Japanese Folk Song\", a two-century old tune that Ryan Gosling's character is practicing in the movie La La Land.

The title track, \"Brilliant Corners,\" for example, was so intricate that it took multiple takes to complete, and the musicians found it challenging to follow it's unconventional structure. This difficulty speaks to Monk's originality and his pushing the boundaries of what jazz could be at the time. The LP is one of Thelonious Monk's most acclaimed and influential albums, recorded in 1956 and released in 1957. It stands as a cornerstone in Monk's discography, showcasing his innovative approach to jazz composition and performance, and is often regarded as one of his finest works. Upon it's release, Brilliant Corners was met with widespread critical acclaim and remains a significant album in jazz history and helped solidify Monk's status as one of the great innovators of modern jazz. It was a breakthrough album for Monk commercially as well, attracting attention from jazz critics and listeners who were beginning to appreciate his genius more widely. Today, Brilliant Corners is considered an essential jazz record, often cited as one of the greatest jazz albums of all time: musicians like Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, and Eric Dolphy were influenced by Monk's ability to push the boundaries of jazz without losing it's essence. The album is not just a masterwork in Thelonious Monk's discography but a pivotal moment in the evolution of modern jazz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Brilliant Corners - Thelonious Monk \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are - Thelonious Monk \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Pannonica \u003cbr\u003e1.4 I Surrender, Dear \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Bemsha Swing\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50335059738981,"sku":"VL1-44946142","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/4683\/7861\/files\/4380164-3321979_069654b9-4ac3-41b3-bdc4-9b858cbd7cb1.jpg?v=1788200442"},{"product_id":"monk-thelonious-thelonious-monk-with-john-coltrane","title":"Thelonious Monk: Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eThelonious Monk With John Coltrane\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eThelonious Monk\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eAnalogue Prod.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e753088094613\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eJazz\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2024-06-14\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003e180 GRAM VINYL\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Despite various reissue formats over several decades, the seven original LPs contained in Thelonious Monk - The Riverside Tenor Sessions stood perfectly well on their own at the time of initial release and remain among the highest achievements of a truly golden age. Recorded and released between 1956 and 1961, these seven Monk combo albums were critical in Monk's emergence from a decade of ridicule and neglect to his status at the pinnacle of the jazz pantheon.One of the most significant events in jazz took place in the latter part of 1957 at the Five Spot in New York, where the Thelonious Monk quartet featuring John Coltrane on tenor saxophone was in residence. The music that Monk made with Coltrane quickly attained the status of legend. Although the group remained together for only a half-year, those who were lucky enough to witness them play called it electrifying.The recordings on Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane are more Monk's than Coltrane's - Monk was signed to Riverside at the time - and the set mixes in three quartet tracks that have the pair working with Wilbur Ware on bass and Shadow Wilson on drums - plus two more from the sessions for the famous Monk's Music record - alternate takes from those sessions, with a larger group that features Gigi Gryce on alto, Coleman Hawkins on additional tenor, and Ray Copeland on trumpet! Quartet tracks include 'Ruby My Dear', 'Trinkle Trinkle', and 'Nutty' - with the larger group on alternates of 'Off Minor' and 'Epistrophy' - and a solo performance by Monk on an alternate of 'Functional.'In addition to some of his best recorded piano performances and more than two dozen of his profoundly personal compositions, the albums in this reissue series provide an overview of the era's major tenor saxophonists, with contributions by Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Rouse and Harold Land.

Recorded and released between 1956 and 1961, these seven Monk combo albums were critical in Monk's emergence from a decade of ridicule and neglect to his status at the pinnacle of the jazz pantheon.Monk's third Riverside album, Brilliant Corners - the first to include horns and emphasize his original compositions - is recognized as the first major step in his rise from being considered a mere eccentric to rightful acceptance as a true jazz giant.Released in 1957, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Monk's genius as a composer, pianist, and bandleader. With it's complex harmonies, angular melodies, and unpredictable rhythms, 'Brilliant Corners' defies convention and challenges the listener to explore new sonic territories.Original compositions recorded here in multiple 1956 sessions, represent Monk at his most inventive and most challenging. 'Brilliant Corners' with it's uneven meter and it's tempo changes, is undoubtedly the real back-breaker, but this doesn't mean that the others are simple: 'Pannonica' is a near-ballad with guts; 'Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-luse-are,' has lots of extended blowing room (and don't neglect to dig several things Monk is doing behind the horns); and 'Bemsha Swing,' is only one of the four originals not specifically prepared for this record date. Monk recorded it twice previously, but comparison shows that it hasn't remained static during that time. Each track offers a glimpse into Monk's singular musical vision.It took real stars to master some of Monk's most difficult and brilliant music and Brilliant Corners is backed by an all-star ensemble featuring the likes of Sonny Rollins, Max Roach, Oscar Pettiford, Ernie Henry, Paul Chambers and Clark Terry.In addition to some of his best recorded piano performances and more than two dozen of his profoundly personal compositions, the albums in this reissue series provide an overview of the era's major tenor saxophonists, with contributions by Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Rouse and Harold Land.

Thelonious Alone in San Francisco is jazz pianist Thelonious Monk's third solo album, originally released in 1959. It was recorded in Fugazi Hall, San Francisco, California on October 21 and 22, 1959, but without an audience present. Monk was arguably his most fascinating when playing alone, as evidenced by \"Thelonious Himself\" ('57) and again by this 1959 LP. His relaxed, deeply thoughtful playing sounds rich and warm as recorded in San Francisco's Fugazi Hall: \"Blue Monk, \" \"Ruby, My Dear, \" \"Reflections, \" \"Pannonica, \" \"Remember, \" \"Bluehawk, \" \"Round Lights\" and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Blue Monk \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ruby, My Dear \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Round Lights \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Everything Happens to Me \u003cbr\u003e1.5 You Took the Words Right Out of My Heart \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Bluehawk \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Pannonica \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Remember \u003cbr\u003e2.4 There's Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Reflections\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50335127535973,"sku":"VL1-33107028","price":7.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/4683\/7861\/files\/3660398.jpg?v=1788200517"}],"url":"https:\/\/theretrospins.com\/collections\/thelonious-monk.oembed","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
