1	The Essential Thelonious Monk [2003] (2003) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Calling an album "The Essential Thelonious Monk" is a bit misleading, especially since all the material comes from one label: Columbia. Nonetheless, this may arguably be the essential Thelonious Monk material on the label. There are 11 selections here, all recorded between 1962-1968, the period of Monk's tenure with the label. Produced for ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
2	Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk (1957) more music like this by Art Blakey/Thelonious Monk The best format to get this essential title is the 1999 Rhino Records CD reissue from their Atlantic Jazz Gallery series. Not only have the half-dozen sides from the original 1958 release been thoroughly remastered, but the amended and enhanced running order also contains a trio of otherwise unavailable alternate takes of Monk standards "Evidence, ... see all copies from $4.73! new only from $8.91!
3	Thelonious in Action: Recorded at the Five Spot Cafe (1958) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Quartet Although the contents of the original Thelonious in Action vinyl comes from the August 7, 1958 show, the CD reissue, which was released three decades later, incorporates over 20 minutes of extras from a July 9 gig that had been previously rejected by the artist. While in exceptional form, Monk is far from casting the only or even the brightest ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
4	Live at the 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival (2007) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk played at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1963 and created a buzz so strong he was invited back the following year. His one-hour set from 1964 is available here, featuring his quartet through the first forty minutes. Tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse and drummer Ben Riley are joined by Steve Swallow on upright acoustic bass loaned from ... see all copies from $12.45! new only from $14.36!
5	The Complete Prestige Recordings (2004) more music like this by Dexter Gordon While it's unquestionably true that saxophonist Dexter Gordon is best known for his Blue Note sides made between 1960 and 1965, it is on his Prestige recordings, the vast majority of which were taped between 1969 and 1973, where the full depth and breadth of his gift and contribution are documented. What's more, this box finally sets the ... see all copies from $96.29! new only from $96.29!
6	Brilliant Corners: The Music of Thelonious Monk (1997) more music like this by Bill Holman Bill Holman's exploration of ten Thelonious Monk tunes is purposely a lot more Holman than Monk. Rather than trying to re-create the great pianist/composer's piano solos or small-group renditions of his songs, Holman picked out numbers that interested him and then avoided listening to Thelonious' versions. The one trait of Thelonious Monk's that ... see all copies from $23.81! new only from $27.58!
7	Explorations 4: Drum Concerto At Dawn (1996) more music like this by Michael Carvin see all copies from $7.95!
8	Life in Time: The Roy Haynes Story [Bonus DVD] (2007) more music like this by Roy Haynes see all copies from $35.86! new only from $35.86!
9	Criss-Cross [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Criss-Cross was Thelonious Monk's first recording for Columbia. His quartet at the time consisted of Charles Rouse, Frankie Dunlop, and John Ore. Legacy's deluxe reissue is a case in point for the high standards they've set in caring for Columbia's jazz catalog. Here are the original nine tracks -- plus three bonus cuts (both alternate takes), two ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
10	Mulligan Meets Monk (1957) more music like this by Gerry Mulligan In the late 1950s/early '60s, baritonist Gerry Mulligan participated in several recorded "meetings" with jazz musicians whom he admired. For this set (reissued on CD in the OJC series), Mulligan teams up with pianist Thelonious Monk (who shares co-leadership), bassist Wilbur Ware, and drummer Shadow Wilson on a surprisingly successful date. Monk ... see all copies from $4.97! new only from $10.06!

12 view cover	Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk [Atlantic] (2002) more music like this by Art Blakey/Thelonious Monk Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk (1958) was one of a number of landmark projects that Monk (piano) would record during the remarkably prolific spring and summer of 1957. In addition to this confab, he also documented the solo platter Thelonious Himself (1957), as well as Monk's Music's (1957) with a septet, and even going toe to ... see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
13 view cover	Roman Sun (2001) more music like this by John Harrison Trio John Harrison belongs to that school of pianists who play with a flourish without becoming florid, similar to Ahmad Jamal with roots in the lyricism of Bill Evans. Harrison uses the whole; he employs runs and arpeggios to extend the range of the instrument. He applies his technique to a variety of tunes represented by the play list. But he doesn't ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
14 view cover	Collaboration (2005) more music like this by Great Jazz Trio Collaboration is the third CD to be issued from a pair of 2002 sessions by the Great Jazz Trio, featuring Elvin Jones and Richard Davis with leader Hank Jones. The pianist previously worked alongside Davis on numerous sessions led by other musicians, including Elvin's Dear John C., though the Jones brothers worked together only sporadically during ... see all copies from $21.90! new only from $21.90!

16 view cover	Trio Music (1981) more music like this by Chick Corea/Miroslav Vitous/Roy Haynes Pianist Chick Corea had a reunion with bassist Miroslav Vitous and drummer Roy Haynes for this double LP, 13 years after they had recorded Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. The first half of this two-fer consists of duet and trio free improvisations and is sometimes a touch lightweight even with moments of interest; playing free was not as natural to ... see all copies from $15.61! new only from $15.61!
17 view cover	Monk in Paris: Live at the Olympia (2003) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Joel Dorn's Hyena Records has been busy with partnerships. This one centers on the estate of Thelonious Monk. The label Thelonious Records was formed by Monk's son T.S. Monk and Peter Grain to open its vaults for the first time and issue unreleased live recordings that were both officially sanctioned and bootlegged. If this set, the second of a ... see all copies from $9.03! new only from $9.03!
18 view cover	Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival: Highlights, Vol. 1 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This sampler is comprised of performances from several different Monterey Jazz Festivals, spanning 41 years. Some of the selections (those featuring Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Sarah Vaughan) were released elsewhere in the first batch in this series of previously unavailable Monterey performances. One can assume that the ... see all copies from $2.23! new only from $10.14!
19 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Thelonious Monk In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $6.99!
20 view cover	The Unspoken Word (1994) more music like this by Chico Freeman Quintet see all copies from $6.48! new only from $9.98!
21 view cover	Funky Cha (2006) more music like this by Harvie S Listening to the veteran New York composer/bassist's fourth project since 1999 is like taking a frenetic joyride through a realm where classic Latin music forms blend furiously with the best of America's jazz traditions. Harvie S has been at this a long time; in 1966, he traveled to Cuba to study with some of the island's master players. Since ... see all copies from $2.05! new only from $11.03!
22 view cover	Riffin' (2001) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk's Columbia years in the 1960s aren't always given the same degree of attention as his earlier tenure with Blue Note and Riverside, but never has his eccentric genius for fractal-style composition and skittering, angular piano runs been so well recorded. Monk had found his most sympathetic sideman in tenor sax player Charlie Rouse ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $4.50!
23 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
24 view cover	Monk Suite (1984) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet The Kronos Quartet, a very open-minded classical string quartet, caused a lot of eyebrows to be raised with this unusual set. They perform eight Thelonious Monk compositions and two Duke Ellington pieces that Monk had recorded. All of the notes played by the strings were written out in advance by arranger Tom Darter but the improvising bassist Ron ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $11.46!
25 view cover	The Truth About Hollywood (2005) more music like this by Brian Haas Covers of Thelonious Monk pieces occur regularly during Brian Haas' solo piano collection entitled The Truth About Hollywood, a bit like photos of the Sphinx or the Grand Canyon in a travel brochure. Several self-composed Haas pieces involving more extended improvisation, a pair of them quite lengthy, provide the main contrast in terms of material ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.96!
