All Monk : The Riverside Albums

Import 16 CD box set from the Jazz legend containing all of his albums for the Riverside label spanning the years 1955-61. Features 128 tracks. Universal. * Please note the now out-of-print, U.S. Monk - Complete Riverside Recordings Box was 15 discs BUT had 153 tracks, which included the Clark Terry Quartet record with Monk, other alternate takes, and a few Monk cameos on other Riverside artist's albums. Also, it was mastered 20 years ago. This current box only has the 129 Monk tracks that were originally released on his own LP albums, plus a few alternates, and the Jazzland and Milestone relevant material. This is exactly the material that should be required for study by the instructors of Intro To/Jazz 101 at all universities!)
