One of Thelonious Monk's most representative works, in which he most vividly presents his own musical aesthetic.
This historic work captures the moment when jazz, post-bebop, stepped into a new stage of expression. An album that embodies the true essence of Thelonious Monk, combining experimentation with tradition, intellect and playfulness at a high level.
The horn section, including Coleman Hawkins and John Coltrane, boldly tackles Monk's complex arrangements, adding depth and momentum to the songs. Monk's own piano, with its unique touch that transforms even silence into music, powerfully controls the whole album.
