Monk's Music

Released in 1957 and recorded in one night, Monk’s Music is the future-defining jazz record by pianist Thelonious Monk. A powerhouse of critically acclaimed and influential jazz musicians performing Monk’s signature works. This album was recorded and released in both mono (RLP 12-242) and stereo (RLP 1102). The stereo version used an entirely different set of suspended ceiling microphones and was released 9 months after the mono, in August 1958. This is the stereo version, remastered and reissued on heavyweight red colour vinyl. Pressings feature individual hand-numbering.
