Thelonious Monk - Greatest Hits (1969) [Remastered 1991]EAC rip | FLAC + CUE + LOG | Full Scans | FileSonic/FileServe
Genre ~ Bop, Post-Bop, Piano Jazz | Label ~ Columbia Records
This recording contains nine performances recorded by pianist/composer Thelonious Monk in the 1960s; most of the cuts were originally on other LPs and the few obscurities are being added to the CD reissues of recent time. As an introduction to Monk's music, this set is excellent, highlighted by a strong version of "Straight No Chaser," a solo piano rendition of "'Round Midnight," and clarinetist Pee Wee Russell sitting in with Monk's quartet for "Blue Monk." ~ AllMusic
