Description
You're bidding on the MOSAIC box set, THE COMPLETE BLUE NOTE RECORDINGS OF THELONIOUS MONK (MOSAIC MR4-101) This is the original 1983 (4) record set and MOSAIC'S first box set. The package includes a full size booklet, with pictures, extensive notes on the recordings, as well as biographical information on Monk, himself.
"This magnificent limited-edition set launched the Mosaic label in real style. Included are all of Thelonious Monk's Blue Note recordings, six sessions as a leader from 1947-52 complete with alternate takes plus two titles cut with tenor-saxophonist Sonny Rollins in 1957. Since these were Monk's first opportunities to lead his own recording dates, this set includes the original versions of such classics as "Ruby, My Dear," "Well You Needn't," "Off Minor," "In Walked Bud," "Evidence," "Criss Cross" and "Straight No Chaser" along with Monk's first chance to record "'Round Midnight" and "Epistrophy." The sidemen include such notables as trumpeters Kenny Dorham and Idrees Sulieman, drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, altoist Lou Donaldson and tenor-saxophonist Lucky Thompson, but it is the unique pianist/composer who is the main star."
Condition: The box grades EX, with minimal shelf wear. The four records, as well as the booklet grade MINT. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
