Our Take

With the release of THELONIOUS MONK QUARTET's album "Misterioso," jazz enthusiasts find themselves in a blissful state of bewilderment. The titular track opens with Monk's signature dissonant chords, leading listeners down a musical rabbit hole filled with unpredictable rhythms and quirky melodies. This album is a rollercoaster ride through Monk's labyrinthine mind, with each track offering a delightful twist and turn that will leave you scratching your head in the best way possible.

One standout moment on the album is the track "Crepuscule With Nellie," a hauntingly beautiful piano solo that showcases Monk's unparalleled skill and creativity. The way he weaves in and out of dissonance and harmony is nothing short of magical, leaving you wondering how one man can possess such a unique musical voice.

Throughout the album, Monk's quartet shines brightly, with each member bringing their own flair to the table. Drummer Roy Haynes keeps the rhythm tight and the energy high, while bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik and saxophonist Johnny Griffin add depth and colour to Monk's intricate compositions.

"Misterioso" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their musical horizons. It's a masterclass in innovation and creativity, with Monk's idiosyncratic vision shining through in every note. So sit back, relax, and let THELONIOUS MONK QUARTET take you on a wild, unpredictable ride through the wonderful world of jazz.
