Includes liner notes by Peter Keepnews.\nThis is part of the Columbia Jazz Masterpieces series.\nUNDERGROUND was the first Monk album in a decade to present new compositions by the artist. It is also the last album recorded with his classic quartet, featuring tenorist Charlie Rouse and the Ben Riley\/Larry Gales rhythm section. Famous for its fun cover art (Monk is depicted in a French Resistance hideout at the piano with a machine gun slung over his shoulder, as a grumpy Nazi general looks on from the background), UNDERGROUND is truly one of Monk's finest offerings.\nHis singular weave of angularity, swing, sweetness and simplicity appears everywhere. \"Ugly Beauty,\" one of the new tunes, is a waltzing ballad. From the soft, lilting head to Rouse's blowing, there's as much lemon in the honey as the title suggests. \"Raise Four\" is a spacious blues, with Monk forming lean, expressive lines from its already-spare melody. This and \"In Walked Bud\" are prime examples of Monk's repetition of a line through the chord changes as a way of parading its various harmonic faces. The latter track is made quite evocative with the impromptu addition of singer Jon Hendricks' lyrics.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42243786637393,"sku":"7SSHBS-QXXE-00","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Thelonious-Monk-UNDERGROUND_etKCc.jpg?v=1762518794"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-plays-duke-ellington-vinyl-5508","title":"PLAYS DUKE ELLINGTON (Vinyl)","description":"Personnel: Thelonious Monk (piano); Oscar Pettiford (bass); Kenny Clarke (drums).\nRecorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on July 21 \u0026amp; 27, 1955. Originally released on Riverside (201). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews.\nDigitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (Fantasy Studios).\nTributee: Duke Ellington.\nThe Prestige label never held Thelonious Monk in the same regard as Miles Davis or the Modern Jazz Quartet, never truly appreciating what they had--perpetuating notions about Monk's personal weirdness and the oddness of his music. Orrin Keepnews was one of the first writers to hear Monk's message on the pianist's early Blue Note recordings, and by the time he entered into partnership with Bill Grauer to form Riverside, Monk's relationship with Prestige had deteriorated. So Keepnews lent Monk the princely sum of $108.27, thus enabling him to pay back label advances, and enabling him to be released from his recording contract.\nKeepnews saw in Monk a brilliant improviser and composer who'd developed a provocative band style built around original piano mannerisms--evolving in a direct line from Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington. He was determined to reintroduce him to listeners by placing him plainly within the fabric of the jazz mainstream with a pair of piano trios--one of them being an album of Duke Ellington compositions.\nMonk's colorful touch, startling rhythmic contrasts, striding left hand and singular harmonic palette have clear antecedents in Duke's work. Kenny Clarke's subtle Afro-Cuban accents and Oscar Pettiford's firm, melodic bass-lines set the pace on \"Caravan,\" as Monk attacks the theme with spare big band accents and left hand punctuations. Like Duke, Monk's solo flourishes aren't technical displays, but distillations of theme and variation.\nOther highlights include Monk's taciturn, rhythmic subtlety on \"It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing\" (featuring a brilliant Pettiford solo turn), his cubist intro on \"Sophisticated Ladies,\" the playful intro and dancing variations to \"I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart,\" and the bluesy, elegant minimalism of \"Black And Tan Fantasy\" (with a reprise of Duke's famous coda).

It has been said often enough that Blakey is the ideal drummer for Monk, and one has only to hear them together again after all this time to realize the truth of the statement. If Blakey at times seems to push the pianist almost too hard, that is in fact the nature of their musical relationship. And, throughout the session, Blakey appeared to be vying with the producer in alternately cajoling and coercing Monk into fulfilling various requests from the small invited audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suggestion of recording Criss Cross had been hanging in the air for at least an hour-and-a-half when Monk suddenly interrupted a conversation between Blakey and photographer David Redfern by launching into the intro. He stays pretty close to the theme, but what a theme it is! The melodic balance of the first four bars is something that could probably only be expressed diagramatically, while the following phrase is a kind of contracted mirror-image of the same idea.. And Al McKibbon certainly knows what he’s doing because he was on the 1951 recording as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonk positively hammers out Jackie-ing (a tune dedicated to his niece) written originally for a 1959 Quintet date for Riverside and prominently featured by Thelonious with his Quartet on world tours during the sixties. Nutty is vintage Monk, dating back to 1954 when it was first recorded (in trio form with Art Blakey and Percy Heath) for Prestige. Blakey himself is in superb form throughout, propelling the whole number and himself into an exhilerating solo in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two outstanding performances here are probably the two spontaneous blues. Blue Sphere, which says a lot in a short space, begins with only one chord per bar in the left hand but with a very strong 2\/4 feel in the right, preparing one for the eventual stride pattern at a typical James P. Johnston tempo; this builds so well to the percussive finale, in which the rhythm is suspended once more, that Al McKibbon could not restrain his discreet applause. The slow Something in Blue, though it builds equally well to a climax, is more complex, alternating double-time with triplets and single notes with funky two-note chords in the right hand, while the left mixes stride with a relaxed boogie pattern. There is, too, an absolutely typical touch in the antepenultimate chorus, where the ascending bass line which has begun cropping up in the 10th bar of each chorus occurs this time in the 9th bar, only to be followed by a repeat in which everything seems to fall on the wrong beat. This is a part sample of Brian Priestley’s excellent sleeve notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLP x 1 standard sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRe-mastering by: Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e BLPP30119 -Artist-Thelonious Monk\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 7\/25\/18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42281002270801,"sku":"OMF0Q0-Y27K-4M","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/thelonious-monk-something-in-blue_5oGJs.jpg?v=1762522743"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-its-monk-time-vinyl","title":"It's Monk Time (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's Monk Time is a undefined Records \u0026amp; LPs from Thelonious Monk \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/5\/2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42355753680977,"sku":"NBR3R7-UGQY-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/thelonious-monk-its-monk-time_7xroy.jpg?v=1762524274"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-brilliant-corners-small-batch-series-one-step-press-lp-vinyl","title":"Brilliant Corners (Small Batch Series) [One-Step Press Lp] (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrilliant Corners (Small Batch Series) [One-Step Press Lp] is a undefined Records \u0026amp; LPs from Thelonious Monk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability: Pre-Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/23\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42436679204945,"sku":"AYRR11-7PO9-5L","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-big-band-and-quartet-in-concert-vinyl","title":"Big Band And Quartet In Concert (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThelonious Monk could walk from his flat to New York’s famous Philharmonic Hall on the corner of 64th Street and Broadway when he made his very first appearance there with his Big Band in December 1963.

The title track, \"Brilliant Corners,\" for example, was so intricate that it took multiple takes to complete, and the musicians found it challenging to follow it's unconventional structure. This difficulty speaks to Monk's originality and his pushing the boundaries of what jazz could be at the time. The LP is one of Thelonious Monk's most acclaimed and influential albums, recorded in 1956 and released in 1957. It stands as a cornerstone in Monk's discography, showcasing his innovative approach to jazz composition and performance, and is often regarded as one of his finest works. Upon it's release, Brilliant Corners was met with widespread critical acclaim and remains a significant album in jazz history and helped solidify Monk's status as one of the great innovators of modern jazz. It was a breakthrough album for Monk commercially as well, attracting attention from jazz critics and listeners who were beginning to appreciate his genius more widely. Today, Brilliant Corners is considered an essential jazz record, often cited as one of the greatest jazz albums of all time: musicians like Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, and Eric Dolphy were influenced by Monk's ability to push the boundaries of jazz without losing it's essence. The album is not just a masterwork in Thelonious Monk's discography but a pivotal moment in the evolution of modern jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrilliant Corners - Thelonious Monk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBa-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are - Thelonious Monk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePannonica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Surrender, Dear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBemsha Swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3770024957099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ermitage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.28.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thelonious Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58254280917073,"sku":"427188","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4380164-3321979.jpg?v=1759471965"},{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-plays-duke-ellington-cd","title":"Plays Duke Ellington [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 24-bit remastered Thelonious Monk PLAYS DUKE ELLINGTON includes the classics \"It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got That Swing)\", \"Mood Indigo\", \"I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good)\" and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSophisticated Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack and Tan Fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMood Indigo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Let a Song Go out of My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolitude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAspects Of A Landscape: Iii.

He came to the fore in the 1940s, so when the era of the vinyl long-playing album dawned in the 1950s, he was ideally placed to take advantage of it. This 38-track 2-CD collection comprises the titles from his first 10\" LPs on Blue Note and Prestige. The first two on Blue Note, \", \"Genius Of Modern Music Vols. 1 \u0026amp; 2\", combine titles from sessions in the late '40s which were released as singles with some from 1951 sessions, while the Prestige titles from the albums \"Thelonious\", \"Thelonious Monk Quintet Blows for LP\", \"Thelonious Monk Quintet\" and \"Thelonious Monk Plays\", were conceived as album projects, featuring extended performances, for which dedicate sessions were done from 1952 through to 1954. We also include bonus titles from a solo session in Paris in 1954. It features performances in the various Trio, Quartet, Quintet and Sextet line-ups with noted musicians of the day, including Gene Ramey, Milt Jackson, Sonny Rollins, Gary Mapp, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Percy Heath, Al McKibbon, Ray Copeland, Frank Foster, Curley Russell and more.

Recorded and released between 1956 and 1961, these seven Monk combo albums were critical in Monk's emergence from a decade of ridicule and neglect to his status at the pinnacle of the jazz pantheon.Monk's third Riverside album, Brilliant Corners - the first to include horns and emphasize his original compositions - is recognized as the first major step in his rise from being considered a mere eccentric to rightful acceptance as a true jazz giant.Released in 1957, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Monk's genius as a composer, pianist, and bandleader. With it's complex harmonies, angular melodies, and unpredictable rhythms, 'Brilliant Corners' defies convention and challenges the listener to explore new sonic territories.Original compositions recorded here in multiple 1956 sessions, represent Monk at his most inventive and most challenging. 'Brilliant Corners' with it's uneven meter and it's tempo changes, is undoubtedly the real back-breaker, but this doesn't mean that the others are simple: 'Pannonica' is a near-ballad with guts; 'Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-luse-are,' has lots of extended blowing room (and don't neglect to dig several things Monk is doing behind the horns); and 'Bemsha Swing,' is only one of the four originals not specifically prepared for this record date. Monk recorded it twice previously, but comparison shows that it hasn't remained static during that time. Each track offers a glimpse into Monk's singular musical vision.It took real stars to master some of Monk's most difficult and brilliant music and Brilliant Corners is backed by an all-star ensemble featuring the likes of Sonny Rollins, Max Roach, Oscar Pettiford, Ernie Henry, Paul Chambers and Clark Terry.In addition to some of his best recorded piano performances and more than two dozen of his profoundly personal compositions, the albums in this reissue series provide an overview of the era's major tenor saxophonists, with contributions by Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Rouse and Harold Land.

The 'five' are made up of what was, at the time of the 1959 sessions, Monk's regular working quartet plus Thad Jones. That is to say, a well-integrated unit with a striking added voice absorbed into it. The album consists of two new Monk compositions and reworkings of three earlier numbers.This is a classic album with a lively quintet that includes Monk, piano; Thad Jones, cornet; Sam Jones, bass; Art Taylor, drums and the amazing Charlie Rouse, tenor sax - here just beginning a very fruitful association with Monk - and really adding a lot to the session with some incredible tenor work that's as angular and modern as needed for Monk's work, yet with a soulful edge that really brings a lot to the music.

The unparalleled composer\/pianist\/visionary Thelonious Sphere Monk epitomized every aspect of this in exponential form. As a result, he occupies a unique position in the Jazz Pantheon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery aspect of this extraordinary man epitomizes jazz expression at its most compelling level. His visual presence – his headwear, his glasses, his sartorial style – matched with his remarkably profound verbal statements, the way he danced around the piano during other musicians' solos; and even more importantly, his brilliant compositions that are both starkly angular, yet gorgeously lyrical, and matched by his piano playing which made dissonance and fractured rhythms so utterly delightful, make Thelonious Monk stand out dynamically even amidst his other transcendent peers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCapitalizing on all of this, the Monk Estate is launching a comprehensive plan to launch a new ongoing series of archival recordings under its authorized control of material that has been circulated for years as bootlegs – and is doing so with clever brand marketing that will further express the legendary presence and spirit of this singular iconoclast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe initial release, Monk Live in Paris, 1967 Volume One, is very special, not only for its merging of these elements, but also because it showcases Monk's longstanding quartet featuring tenor man Charlie Rouse and the bass\/drums tandem of Larry Gales and Ben Riley, who are joined by five very special guest horn men. Alto saxophonist Phil Woods, trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, Ray Copeland and tenor titan Johnny Griffin (Rouse's predecessor in the quartet) perform in various permutations – with the full nonet, including trumpet legend Clark Terry, coming together in Volume Two of this wonderful concert recording (to be released October 9, 2026).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVolume One includes four Monk classics (an apt description of virtually every one of his compositions) – ''Epistrophy,'' with a scorching, growlingly muscular Griffin solo and a lyrical and adventurous Copeland solo; the deliciously syncopated ''Evidence,'' with sparkling Rouse, another terrific solo by Copeland; and bluesy, wickedly swinging Woods. On both extended pieces, the four horns provide densely harmonic thematic statements and some adventurous riffing that spurs on the soloists for a spontaneous feeling with a jam session atmosphere of jubilant excitement. ''We See,'' again highlights Rouse and Copeland; with the beautiful ''Ruby, My Dear'' just featuring the original quartet completing the package. Of course, Monk brings his totally singular piano stylings to each piece; and Gales and Riley both offer their own outstanding contributions as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMonk's son, T.S. Monk, says Monk Live in Paris was chosen to showcase the caliber of musicians who traveled with Monk, though not excluding Charlie Rouse, who is most familiar to his public. ''Giants like Rollins and Coltrane, Abdul Malik, Roy Haynes or Art Blakey, Mingus and Max Roach spent much time with Monk, but they didn't travel that much,'' Monk says. ''People are quite aware of his touring and recording quartet, his colleagues as a young man at Minton's Playhouse, like Dizzy, Bird, Charlie Christian, Red Rodney, Kenny Clarke and so on. His touring with larger ensembles especially in Europe, not as much. The Clark Terry's, Phil Woods, Thad Jones', the Jimmy Cleveland's, Johnny Griffin's and others highlight the respect his peers had for him. Men in some cases that often led their own bands. These musicians traveled for the art as much as the money! In some cases, more so! They all loved Monk and their presence is a tribute to his artistry.''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e''Thelonious Monk never wrote music to fit a system,'' TS Monk says. ''He wrote to expand imagination and move the culture forward. We've spent years navigating piracy, legacy structures, and an industry not always built for artist control. This album release marks a shift - stewarded independently, handled with intention, and delivered directly to listeners. Legacy isn't something you just inherit - it's something you defend and reinvent. This is a milestone not just for our family, but for anyone who believes in art over formula.''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe recording is presented as a 180-gram audiophile pressing and was selected by Thelonious Sphere Monk III as the first in a new series of previously unreleased, rare live recordings, mastered by Rudy Van Gelder.
