Emeritus Prof Christopher May

An LP a day - for no other reason than I love my records - No.63

Thelonius Monk. Genius of Modern Music Vol.1

This modern jazz masterpiece (Vol.2 is great too) is the 'ur text' of so much modern jazz it's startling. Eventually most tracks become jazz standards & so often covered, so here are Monk's earliest versions -as the title says: genius!

Standout tracks:
Round about Midnight - the Monk sound in a capsule!
Well you Needn't - so often covered...
(but every track's great!)

Album cover: Thelonius Monk. Genius of Modern Music Vol. 1 (1952)
