Our Take
Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane team up like a pair of jazz superheroes on this limited transparent purple vinyl reissue. The blend of Monk's off-kilter, angular piano chops and Coltrane's smooth, saxophone stylings is nothing short of transcendent. From the opening notes of "Ruby, My Dear," you can feel the chemistry between the two musical legends crackling like a live wire. Monk's idiosyncratic approach to harmony and rhythm meshes perfectly with Coltrane's inventive, boundary-pushing improvisations. Tracks like "Trinkle, Tinkle" and Monk's iconic composition "Monk's Mood" showcase the duo's telepathic musical communication, with each musician bouncing ideas off the other in a playful, yet masterful way. The limited edition transparent purple vinyl adds an extra layer of cool to an already incredible listening experience. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is a must-have for any collection. So, grab a glass of your favourite cocktail, sit back, and let Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane take you on a sonic journey like no other. Trust us, you'll be glad you did.

About the artist

Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane

Thelonious Monk, the enigmatic jazz pianist and composer whose unique style defied categorisation, continues to captivate audiences with his unconventional approach to music. With a career spanning over four decades, Monk's influence extends far beyond the confines of traditional jazz, earning him a reputation as one of the genre's most innovative and enduring figures. Born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina in 1917, Monk began playing the piano at a young age and quickly established himself as a prodigious talent. His early recordings, including the seminal album "Brilliant Corners," showcased his distinctive blend of complex harmonies, rhythmic experimentation, and playful improvisation, setting him apart from his contemporaries. Despite achieving critical acclaim and widespread recognition, Monk remained a somewhat elusive figure, known for his idiosyncratic behaviour and enigmatic persona. His eccentricities only added to his mystique, with stories of his unconventional performance style and quirky sense of humour becoming the stuff of legend. While Monk's music may not always be easily accessible to mainstream audiences, his enduring legacy is undeniable. His compositions, such as "Round Midnight" and "Blue Monk," have become jazz standards beloved by musicians and listeners alike, ensuring that his influence will continue to be felt for generations to come. In a musical landscape increasingly dominated by trends and fads, Thelonious Monk stands as a beacon of originality and creativity, reminding us of the importance of staying true to one's artistic vision. As Monk himself once said, "The genius is the one most like himself." And in that regard, there will never be another quite like Thelonious Monk.
