Recorded in 1957, Monk's Music is a landmark session from the legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, featuring a remarkable septet that reads like a who's who of jazz royalty. The ensemble includes titans such as John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins on tenor saxophone, Art Blakey on drums, and Ray Copeland on trumpet, making this one of the most star-studded recordings of the era.
Monk's signature style — those child-like, jittery, and punctuating piano licks — pushes the horn players into bold, expressive territory throughout the album, which also marks the first recorded appearance of the beloved composition "Crepuscule with Nellie." This mono edition LP, part of the Original Jazz Classics series, is an essential addition to any serious jazz collection.
