Description
24 tracks of the great Thelonious Monk on this 180 gram vinyl 2-LP Thelonious Monk.Originally released on Blue Note in 1956 and featuring the original track listings from the first 12” versions. Sides A & B, originally released as 'Genius Of Modern Music, Vol. 1' feature Monk’s recordings as a bandleader in 1947 and Sides C & D, originally released as 'Genius Of Modern Music, Vol. 2' feature his recordings as a bandleader for Blue Note in 1951-1952. The 1947 recordings, recorded when Monk was 30 years old, are Monk’s first as a bandleader and just a glance at the track listing makes one understand why Blue Note felt it appropriate to use that title for these albums. This was Monk’s first major recording, and many of the tracks here have become jazz standards.
