Description
It is very rare to be able to praise a record without any reservations, but this is indeed the case here!!!
Much has been written since the release of this seminal solo record on Vogue/Swing (1955). The repertoire was composed of pieces that Thelonious was playing in New York at that time, but in a trio or quartet setting; here, his music demonstrates a nakedness, I would even say a brutality, that is absolutely overwhelming. It is a black and white photograph of what is going on in Monk's head; its sharpness is captivating, as everyone has known for over sixty years.
We enter the world of one of the most original artists. Monk, at 37, is at the height of his powers.
