Our Take

Thelonious Monk takes his unique jazz stylings on a trip to sunny Italy in this delightful and slightly off-kilter album. True to form, Monk's piano playing is innovative and captivating, as he navigates through a series of Italian-inspired compositions with his signature dissonant chords and unpredictable tempo changes. The album kicks off with "Well, You Needn't," a lively and quirky tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Monk's playful piano melodies dance around the rhythm section with effortless grace, showcasing his unparalleled musicianship and creativity. Tracks like "April in Paris" and "Just You, Just Me" highlight Monk's ability to reinterpret classic jazz standards with his own unique twist. His quirky phrasing and unexpected harmonies keep listeners on their toes, never quite knowing where the music will take them next. Throughout the album, Monk is joined by a stellar lineup of musicians who bring their own flair to the music. Drummer Art Blakey's propulsive rhythms drive the songs forward, while saxophonist Johnny Griffin adds a touch of soulful sophistication to the proceedings. In Italy is a testament to Thelonious Monk's enduring legacy as one of jazz's true visionaries. His music continues to inspire and delight listeners around the world, and this album is no exception. So pour yourself a glass of Chianti, sit back, and let the sounds of Monk in Italy transport you to a place where jazz and pasta reign supreme.
