The Unique Thelonious Monk
Thelonious Monk
Released:
Jan 1956
Label:
Universal Music Oy
When the recently discovered Monk/Trane concert recording At Carnegie Hall became one of the biggest selling jazz sets in history, Concord decided to combine the duo's studio work on this double-disc set. The music is brilliant -- a hundred million stars out of five -- but what was special about Carnegie was that it was the first evidence of the two jazz geniuses playing as equals. Here, Monk rules and Trane is a gifted, quickly evolving sideman who is given plenty of space to blow.
