Our Take

Ah, Thelonious Monk - the man, the myth, the jazz legend. His album "Monk's Music" is a masterpiece, a swirling mix of bebop and hard bop that will have you grooving in your seat from start to finish. The opening track, "'Round Midnight," is a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the classic standard, showcasing Monk's mastery of the piano. His unique style, with its angular melodies and dissonant chords, is on full display throughout the album, captivating the listener with its sheer brilliance. The addition of six bonus tracks only adds to the allure of this album, giving fans a deeper insight into Monk's genius. Tracks like "Blue Monk" and "Epistrophy" are absolute gems, each one a showcase of Monk's unparalleled talent and creativity. With a 20-page booklet included, you'll get a glimpse into the world of Thelonious Monk, with rare photos and insightful commentary that will enhance your listening experience. Overall, "Monk's Music" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. It's a timeless classic that solidifies Monk's place in the pantheon of jazz greats. So grab a copy, sit back, and let the music wash over you - you won't be disappointed. Trust us, this album is the real deal.
