5.0 out of 5 stars The great Monk 6 Jun 2007
By S J Buck TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This first volume of recordings is an essential purchase for any Jazz fan capturing Thelonious Monk in the very early days of be-bop, playing many of his most famous tunes.

Recorded in October and November 1947 in New York City, the album features the following musicians:

Thelonious Monk - Piano

Art Blakey - drums,

Gene Ramey, Bob Paige - bass

Idrees Sulieman, George Tait - Trumpet

Danny Quebec West, Sahib Shihab - Alto Sax

Baring mind the age of the recordings the sound quality is remarkably good and of course Monks distinctive compositions and playing dominate proceedings. Of the non-Monk tunes perhaps the best are his versions of Gershwins "Nice Work..." which he takes to another place entirely. Of Monks own compositions the beautiful "Ruby My Dear" and the swinging "Well You Needn't" are perhaps my favourites.

The 2nd volume is well worth getting as this also features Milt Jackson on a number tracks as well. So get both volumes and enjoy Monk!

By Jason Parkes #1 HALL OF FAME
Format:Audio CD
This is a welcome reissue of the excellent two volume collections 'Genius of Modern Music' released on Blue Note...Basically, jazz with avant-garde leanings- these volumes offer a great overview of the Monk. While not complete, they offer alternate takes of tracks...What can I say?- openers 'Humph' & 'Evonce' bridge the gap between Parker & Davis. 'Thelonious', 'Nice work if you can get it', 'Ruby my Dear', 'Well you Needn't', 'Round Midnight' etc all provide reasons to purchase...This album needs to be heard- the re-mastering has given a wonderful clarity...My only quibble is reference to tracks such as 'Epistrophy', 'Mysterioso' & 'I mean You' on the cover- where are these tracks?...So, along with the Second volume, I would reccomend 'Straight no Chaser' & the budget-priced 'Greatest Hits'...Great stuff!!!

took 6 days to arrive, product not "used - like new" more like "used - Fair" so I think they need to look at descriptions
