Our Take

Jazz aficionados, buckle up, because we've got a wild ride with Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane's iconic collaboration on "Monk's Music." This album is like a musical rollercoaster, with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

From the moment the needle drops on "Abide with Me," you know you're in for something special. Monk's playful piano melodies dance around Coltrane's smooth saxophone like two old friends catching up after years apart. The chemistry between these two legends is palpable, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the infectious energy they create together.

Tracks like "Ruby, My Dear" and "Trinkle, Tinkle" showcase Monk's unique approach to composition, with off-kilter rhythms and unexpected harmonies that keep you guessing at every turn. Coltrane's solos are a thing of beauty, soaring to dizzying heights before gently bringing you back down to earth.

The bonus tracks on this reissue only add to the magic, giving us even more insight into the creative process of these two musical geniuses. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the genre, "Monk's Music" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates top-tier musicianship and boundless creativity. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
