Description
Thelonious Monk Genius Of Modern Music Volume 2 Ltd Edition of 1000 Red Vinyl LP. Condition is "New". Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
Limited edition translucent red 180-gram vinyl! Less than 1000 made. A cornerstone of any jazz collection! Volume Two Genius of Modern Music set displays Thelonious Monk coming into his own as a leader. The program consists almost entirely of original compositions, incuding two of his most difficult: "Four in One" (with its conventional bop intro that leads into a bizarre, repeated five-against-two quintuplet sequence) and the forbiddingly abstract "Criss Cross." Get through those and you'll eventually be rewarded with the relatively straightforward, blues-based "Straight No Chaser" and the sweet ballad "Ask Me Now," among other treats. Sidemen include the young trumpeter Kenny Dorham and bassist Al McKibbon, as well as Art Blakey and (replacing Blakey on half of the program) Max Roach.
