Originally released on Riverside (201). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews.\u003cbr\u003eDigitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (Fantasy Studios).\u003cbr\u003eTributee: Duke Ellington.\u003cbr\u003eThe Prestige label never held Thelonious Monk in the same regard as Miles Davis or the Modern Jazz Quartet, never truly appreciating what they had--perpetuating notions about Monk's personal weirdness and the oddness of his music. Orrin Keepnews was one of the first writers to hear Monk's message on the pianist's early Blue Note recordings, and by the time he entered into partnership with Bill Grauer to form Riverside, Monk's relationship with Prestige had deteriorated. So Keepnews lent Monk the princely sum of $108.27, thus enabling him to pay back label advances, and enabling him to be released from his recording contract.\u003cbr\u003eKeepnews saw in Monk a brilliant improviser and composer who'd developed a provocative band style built around original piano mannerisms--evolving in a direct line from Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington. He was determined to reintroduce him to listeners by placing him plainly within the fabric of the jazz mainstream with a pair of piano trios--one of them being an album of Duke Ellington compositions.\u003cbr\u003eMonk's colorful touch, startling rhythmic contrasts, striding left hand and singular harmonic palette have clear antecedents in Duke's work. Kenny Clarke's subtle Afro-Cuban accents and Oscar Pettiford's firm, melodic bass-lines set the pace on \"Caravan,\" as Monk attacks the theme with spare big band accents and left hand punctuations. Like Duke, Monk's solo flourishes aren't technical displays, but distillations of theme and variation.\u003cbr\u003eOther highlights include Monk's taciturn, rhythmic subtlety on \"It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing\" (featuring a brilliant Pettiford solo turn), his cubist intro on \"Sophisticated Ladies,\" the playful intro and dancing variations to \"I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart,\" and the bluesy, elegant minimalism of \"Black And Tan Fantasy\" (with a reprise of Duke's famous coda). PLAYS DUKE ELLINGTON is a remarkably serene, reflective portrait of the pianist as an interpretive artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44256339034310,"sku":"MPKWH6-N1XF-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/Thelonious-Monk-PLAYS-DUKE-ELLINGTON_WiQJU.jpg?v=1762324834"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-thelonious-monk-something-in-blue-vinyl","title":"Thelonious Monk - Something In Blue [Vinyl]","description":"Thelonious Monk - Thelonious Monk - Something In Blue [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 5060149621097 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Bates took Thelonious Monk into the studio for his first trio recording in fifteen years with his old sidekick Art Blakey. It has been said often enough that Blakey is the ideal drummer for Monk, and one has only to hear them together again after all this time to realize the truth of the statement. If Blakey at times seems to push the pianist almost too hard, that is in fact the nature of their musical relationship. And, throughout the session, Blakey appeared to be vying with the producer in alternately cajoling and coercing Monk into fulfilling various requests from the small invited audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suggestion of recording Criss Cross had been hanging in the air for at least an hour-and-a-half when Monk suddenly interrupted a conversation between Blakey and photographer David Redfern by launching into the intro. He stays pretty close to the theme, but what a theme it is! The melodic balance of the first four bars is something that could probably only be expressed diagramatically, while the following phrase is a kind of contracted mirror-image of the same idea.. And Al McKibbon certainly knows what he’s doing because he was on the 1951 recording as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonk positively hammers out Jackie-ing (a tune dedicated to his niece) written originally for a 1959 Quintet date for Riverside and prominently featured by Thelonious with his Quartet on world tours during the sixties. Nutty is vintage Monk, dating back to 1954 when it was first recorded (in trio form with Art Blakey and Percy Heath) for Prestige. Blakey himself is in superb form throughout, propelling the whole number and himself into an exhilerating solo in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two outstanding performances here are probably the two spontaneous blues. Blue Sphere, which says a lot in a short space, begins with only one chord per bar in the left hand but with a very strong 2\/4 feel in the right, preparing one for the eventual stride pattern at a typical James P. Johnston tempo; this builds so well to the percussive finale, in which the rhythm is suspended once more, that Al McKibbon could not restrain his discreet applause. The slow Something in Blue, though it builds equally well to a climax, is more complex, alternating double-time with triplets and single notes with funky two-note chords in the right hand, while the left mixes stride with a relaxed boogie pattern. There is, too, an absolutely typical touch in the antepenultimate chorus, where the ascending bass line which has begun cropping up in the 10th bar of each chorus occurs this time in the 9th bar, only to be followed by a repeat in which everything seems to fall on the wrong beat. This is a part sample of Brian Priestley’s excellent sleeve notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLP x 1 standard sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRe-mastering by: Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e BLPP30119 -Artist-Thelonious Monk\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 7\/25\/18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44260302749894,"sku":"OMF0Q0-Y27K-4M","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/thelonious-monk-something-in-blue_5oGJs.jpg?v=1762325184"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-criss-cross-vinyl","title":"Criss-Cross [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eCriss-Cross — Thelonious Monk’s second album for Columbia Records –features some of the finest work that Monk ever did in the studio with his ‘60s trio and quartet. Whether revisiting pop standards or reinventing Monk’s own classic compositions, Monk and Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), John Ore (bass), and Frankie Dunlop (drums) exchange powerful musical ideas, as well as provide potent solos throughout the disc. Fittingly, “Hackensack” — a frenetic original composition — opens the disc by demonstrating the bandleader’s strength in a quartet environment. The solid rhythmic support of the trio unfetters Monk into unleashing endless cascades of percussive inflections and intoxicating chord progressions. The title cut also reflects the ability of the four musicians to maintain melodic intricacies that are at times so exigent it seems cruel that Monk would have expected a musician of any caliber to pull them off. “Tea for Two” showcases Monk’s appreciation for the great stride or “walking” piano style of James P. Johnson and Willie “The Lion” Smith. The arrangement here is lighter, and features a trio (minus Rouse) to accent rather than banter with Monk’s splashes of magnificence throughout. Likewise, Monk’s solo on “Don’t Blame Me” is excellent. The extended runs up and down the keyboard can’t help but reiterate the tremendous debt of gratitude owed to the original stride pianists of the early 20th century.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalling 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!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e180 gram LP w\/ Standard Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRecording: 1961\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e Columbia CS 8984 -Artist-Thelonious Monk\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/28\/19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44690407096518,"sku":"W4QGBE-OJJZ-GJ","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/thelonious-monk-its-monks-time_uI3gC.jpg?v=1762345261"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-thelonious-monk-with-john-coltrane-import-vinyl","title":"Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane [Import] [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThelonious Monk With John Coltrane [Import] is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Thelonious Monk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 04\/03\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44790128443590,"sku":"RD6FA7-L59R-WB","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/thelonious-monk-thelonious-monk-with-john-coltrane-import_Ae6Zg.png?v=1753735792"},{"product_id":"brilliant-corners-small-batch-series-one-step-press-lp-vinyl","title":"Brilliant Corners (Small Batch Series) [One-Step Press Lp] [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrilliant Corners (Small Batch Series) [One-Step Press Lp] is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Thelonious Monk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/23\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45062011715782,"sku":"AYRR11-7PO9-5L","price":100.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/thelonious-monk-brilliant-corners-small-batch-series-one-step-press-lp_vaYmR.jpg?v=1759503818"},{"product_id":"thelonious-alone-in-san-francisco-hqcd-reissue","title":"Thelonious Alone In San Francisco (Hqcd) [Reissue]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart of Universal Japan's 'Everything Jazz - Vol. 3: Concord Edition' reissue campaign.

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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrilliant Corners - Thelonious Monk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBa-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are - Thelonious Monk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePannonica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Surrender, Dear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBemsha Swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3770024957099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ermitage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.28.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45456513761478,"sku":"427188","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/4380164-3321979.jpg?v=1768509940"},{"product_id":"at-the-blackhawk-180-gram","title":"At The Blackhawk [180 Gram]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite 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.The sextet sessions from which Quartet Plus Two At the Blackhawk sprung started out as a collaboration. The occasion was Monk's second visit to San Francisco. He took his current quartet - Monk on piano; Charlie House, tenor sax; John ore, bass; and Billy Higgins, drums. Plus he added two of the most impressive horn men available on the West Coast - trumpeter Joe Gordon, and tenor sax player Harold Land. This vibrant live performance took place at the famed San Francisco jazz club in 1960.While the entire album showcases the group's remarkable chemistry and improvisational prowess, several standout tracks exemplify the quintet's dynamic energy and innovative approach to jazz. 'Epistrophy,' the iconic Monk composition, is given new life in a live setting, with it's infectious rhythms and memorable melody captivating the audience from the first note.The album displays brilliantly and evocatively several different facets of Monk - his artistry, and his magic. The addition of Land's horn makes for a very soulful set.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.

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. Bremen 1965 highlights an incredible performance during one of Monk and his quartet's most fiery and exploratory periods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCriss Cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet and Lovely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell You Needn't\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Blame Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpistrophy (I)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust You, Just Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Getting Sentimental Over You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhythm-a-Ning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpistrophy (II)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 016728163422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunnyside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.12.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45457185702086,"sku":"35783759","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/4463899-3461327.jpg?v=1768518590"},{"product_id":"straight-no-chaser-clear-vinyl-limited-edition-180-gram-hol","title":"Straight No Chaser [Clear Vinyl] [Limited Edition] [180 Gram] (Hol)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited edition of 2500 numbered copies on crystal clear 180-gram audiophile vinyl. 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.

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. Max Roach, Art Blakely, Roy Haynes and Thad Jones are among the other jazz immortals featured on the essential Brilliant Corners, Monk's Music: Thelonious Monk Septet, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane, Thelonious in Action, Misterioso, 5 by Monk by 5 and Quartet Plus Two At The Blackhawk.Thelonious Monk - Brilliant CornersOne of seven standout Thelonious Monk albums from the Riverside Records catalog!Reissued on 180-gram vinyl by Analogue Productions!Mastered AAA by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapePressed at Quality Record PressingsTracklist:1.

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.For Thelonious in Action, Monk recorded live at the Five Spot Cafe in the Bowery neighborhood of Manhattan on August 7, 1958, at the same sessions that produced Misterioso. One of New York's most celebrated jazz rooms, the Five Spot is where Monk first emerged into the spotlight. With him on this date was tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, drummer Roy Haynes, and bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik. They created two highly memorable in-performance albums (of which this is the first) of classic Monk repertoire.From the moment Monk's fingers touch the keys on the opening track, 'Light Blue, ' the listener is transported into a world of musical virtuosity and improvisational brilliance. Monk leads the quartet through a series of electrifying performances that are as daring as they are captivating.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.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery aspect of this extraordinary man epitomizes jazz expression at its 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCapitalizing on all of this, the Monk Estate is launching a comprehensive plan to launch a new ongoing series of archival recordings under its 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe initial release, Monk Live in Paris, 1967 Volume One, is very special, not only for its 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).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVolume 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMonk'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.''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e''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.''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.
