Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane

Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane (1957) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane

What this disc lacks in program time is more than compensated for in content. While the teaming of Thelonious Monk (piano) with John Coltrane (tenor sax) might "look better on paper," as the adage goes, rest assured the results are even better on the disc. These were the same bountiful sessions that produced the Monk's Music and Thelonious Himself ...

Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins

Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins (1953) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk With Sonny Rollins

This disc contains an all-star cast headed up by Thelonious Monk (piano) and includes some collaborative efforts with Sonny Rollins (tenor sax) that go beyond simply inspired and into a realm of musical telepathy. The five tunes included on Work are derived from three separate sessions held between November of 1953 and September of the following ...

The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings

The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings (2006) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

Hardcore jazzheads with no doubt be delighted with this double-disc set that includes all the recordings Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane did together in 1957 for Riverside. Never mind that the vast majority of this material has been issued several times. There are two cuts that have never appeared before: an alternate of "Crepuscule with Nellie" ...

Complete Prestige Recordings

Complete Prestige Recordings (2000) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk was only with Prestige from 1952-1954, which explains why Fantasy's The Complete Prestige Recordings contains only three CDs. But Monk's Prestige output is noteworthy and generally rewarding, if imperfect at times. Not everything on The Complete Prestige Recordings is essential, but for the serious Monk collector, its rewards are ...

At the Five Spot

At the Five Spot (1958) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

One of Thelonious Monk's finest bands was the quartet he led in 1958 that featured tenor-saxophonist Johnny Griffin. Griffin sounded quite comfortable playing Monk's music and his fiery style really inspired the pianist/composer. This two-LP set (whose contents are also available on Monk's massive CD box The Complete Riverside Recordings) has many ...

Live at the It Club

Live at the It Club (1964) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk was frequently recorded in live settings during his tenure with Columbia, though the original two-LP set wasn't released until 1982, and then only in edited form. Fortunately, the 1998 two-CD reissue restored the tracks to their original lengths, as well as adding three previously unreleased performances. This pair of 1964 dates at ...

by Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk's 1963 Newport Jazz Festival set has been released in whole or part on several different Columbia releases, but this 2002 reissue is the best version yet. One finally gets to hear nothing but Monk on this edition, with the added bonus of a previously unreleased and undocumented appearance from the 1965 festival. The earlier ...

Epistrophy (1988) more music like this

by Charlie Rouse

Although he had an extensive career, tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse is best remembered for his decade (1960-1970) as a member of the Thelonious Monk Quartet. It is only right that the last time that he picked up his horn was for a Monk tribute concert. This historic event, originally released by Landmark and reissued with one extra selection on a ...

Their overwhelming and instinctual capacities directly ...

Riverside Profiles (2006) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

After making his first recordings for Blue Note Records in 1947, Thelonious Monk moved on to the Prestige label in the early '50s before moving on again to sign with the then-new Riverside Records in 1955. Working with producer Orrin Keepnews at Riverside, Monk produced some of his finest studio sessions during the next four years, several of ...

Rumba Para Monk (1988) more music like this

by Jerry Gonzales & the Fort Apache Band

Jerry Gonzalez has referred to himself as being "bilingual" in that he is equally skilled on trumpet and congas, in bebop and in Latin music. Gonzalez succeeds in his goal of combining the two idioms without watering down either style on this essential Sunnyside CD. The first Afro-Cuban Thelonious Monk tribute has plenty of spots for the ...

This valuable compilation includes excerpts from five separate live performances recorded between 1961 and 1964, featuring Thelonious Monk and his longtime tenor saxophonist, Charlie Rouse, with three different rhythm sections.

Monkisms (2000) more music like this

by Joe Bonner

Pianists Joe Bonner and Thelonious Monk were each born in Rocky Mount, NC, a not-so-interesting fact except that Bonner's thoughtful, decisive style has, perhaps coincidentally, been thought to resemble that of his justly more famous and influential townsman. Recorded in 1991 but not released until 2000, this album is an opportunity to hear Bonner ...
