Our Take

In a jazz world filled with pretentious waffle, Thelonious Monk Septet's "Monk's Music" is a breath of fresh air. This album is like a warm hug from that eccentric uncle everyone loves, who just happens to be a musical genius.

From the opening notes of "Abide With Me," we are transported to a world where bebop reigns supreme and Monk is our benevolent ruler. His piano playing is like a musical rollercoaster, taking us on twists and turns we never saw coming.

The Septet's chemistry is palpable throughout the album, with each musician playing off each other with an infectious energy. The horns blare, the drums thump, and Monk's piano dances around it all like a madman on a tightrope. You can't help but tap your foot and nod your head along to the infectious grooves.

Tracks like "Well, You Needn’t" and "Ruby, My Dear" showcase Monk's compositional prowess, with intricate melodies and clever arrangements that keep you on your toes. And let's not forget about the legendary saxophonist, John Coltrane, whose solos on this album are nothing short of mind-blowing.

So, in conclusion, if you're looking for an album that will make you smile, tap your foot, and nod your head in appreciation, look no further than Thelonious Monk Septet's "Monk's Music." It's a jazz masterpiece that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection.
