3.Monk's Dream by: Thelonious Monk September 02, 2002

This was pianist Thelonious Monk's first album for the Columbia label; it was made between October 31st and November 6th in '62. 'Body And Soul' and 'Just A Gigolo' are unaccompanied piano solos by Monk. The remainder of the tracks feature him in a quartet with Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), John Ore (bass) and Frankie Dunlop (drums). Rouse sounds a bit relentless at times, but never quite monotonous. Dunlop's bouncy drumming is a joy to listen to, and Monk himself is on good quirky form. These are studio recordings, the sound quality is excellent and the playing time is 73 minutes. A very attractive item - bewitching even.

5.Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall by: Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane September 27, 2005

There is nothing more to say on the musical genius or the African American roots of this pairing - that has all been said by the other reviews. This is a recording that was lost for almost 50 years and which has given us all a wonderful gift of music that can only be understood by hearing it and then breathing in the depth of the music. The sounds produced here are not from 1957 they are timeless, the music and the beat will always go on and Monk and Coltrane will live forever with this recording. I sure as heck wish I was there when they played Carnegie Hall that night.....

This first volume of recordings is an essential purchase for any Jazz fan capturing Thelonious Monk in the very early days of be-bop, playing many of his most famous tunes. Recorded in October and November 1947 in New York City, the album features the following musicians: Thelonious Monk - Piano Art Blakey - drums, Gene Ramey, Bob Paige - bass Idrees Sulieman, George Tait - Trumpet Danny Quebec West, Sahib Shihab - Alto Sax Baring mind the age of the recordings the sound quality is remarkably good and of course Monks distinctive compositions and playing dominate proceedings. Of the non-Monk tunes perhaps the best are his versions of Gershwins "Nice Work..." which he takes to another place ... Read More:

7.Monk Alone: Complete Columbia Solo Studio Recordings 1962-1968 by: Thelonious Monk June 08, 1998

Monk was weird. This collection of solo recordings in the 1960s shows him to be out of step with the age and all the more contemporary because of it. Whilst his contemporaries were raging and screeching, here's Monk recording some well-known and totally obscure songs from the 20s and 30s in the apparently hopelessly outdated stride piano style. Yet Monk makes it sound vital, through reharmonisation and wonderful improvising, that genuinely sticks to what is written but transforms it into something better. "I Should Care" for example is reduced down to a few components but sounds as complete and satisfying as a symphony. When I bought this 7 or 8 years ago, I listened to it almost endlessly for months. One critic said with Monk you enter "a private ... Read More:

Brilliant collection from Monk's phase of collaborating (mostly) with Charlie Rouse in the form of a quartet, or playing solo, this small box contains a lot of brilliant music, original compositions and compact performances... Rouse was criticized by some for being to rigidly monkish in his execution, of having no individual voice, but to contribute to such magnificent art is by no means small achievement. He is no John Coltrane or Clark Terry, some of the giants Monk worked with on equall basis, but he was capable of digging into Monk's music. For crying out loud: even Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, in their famous album with Monk became an extension of Monk's mind (and, with Johnny Griffin on board, it was by no means one of the lesser ...
