Our Take

Attention all you hip cats and jazzy kittens, it's time to take a trip down Monk's memory lane with the latest release of Thelonious Monk Quartet's "Monk's Dream." This album, available in both mono and stereo versions, is a must-have for any serious jazz aficionado.

In the mono version, Monk's iconic piano playing takes center stage, transporting listeners back to the smoky clubs of the 1950s. The rawness and intimacy of the recording capture the essence of Monk's genius, making each note feel like a glimpse into the artist's soul.

On the other hand, the stereo version offers a more immersive experience, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the intricate interplay between Monk's piano, Charlie Rouse's saxophone, John Ore's bass, and Frankie Dunlop's drums. Each instrument shines in its own right, yet comes together seamlessly to create a truly harmonious sound.

Regardless of which version you choose, "Monk's Dream" is a timeless classic that showcases Monk's unparalleled talent and creativity. So grab your beret, pour yourself a glass of bourbon, and let the sounds of Thelonious Monk Quartet transport you to a bygone era of cool jazz and endless possibilities. This album is a true gem in the jazz canon, and an absolute essential for any music lover's collection.
