Simply excellent for all longtime Monk fans.

Format:Audio CD
No, there is no Randy Newman on this album. This is the Season One soundtrack. I do like "It's A Jungle Out There", but not as much as the original theme, presented here in three versions! Jeff Beal's amazing jazz score for the first season ranged from peppy and fun to dark and moody and helped set the tone for some of the greatest scenes in the series. The main theme and "A Clean Apartment" are so much fun to listen to that they demand multiple replayings, and "Trudy's Theme" is hauntingly beautiful. Any true Monk fan should add this to their music collection immediately.

USA's Monk series is a delightful murder mystery about a quirky, compulsive detective. The show is incredibly well done with an OUTSTANDING musical score to back it up. Jeff Beal does an excellent job at translating into music the whimsical eccentricites that the show aims to create. A testament to Beal's talent is how extraordinarily well each instrumental piece stands on its own volition. The music found on the disc
is a compilation of pieces performed for the series (which they have plenty of selections to enjoy) but be sure that it can easily be appreciated by anyone. (not just fans of 'Monk')

Great, but missing some stuff

If you are a fan of Monk, and/or if you are just a fan of 'souondtrack music' in general, you will not be disappointed by this album.
This includes the first season theme, several reprises, and plenty of 'incidental' music from the series. The use of themes and colors in the orchestration is very entertaining, whether you are familiar with the series or not.
The only drawback is that it does not include the show theme used from the second season on - "Its a Jungle Out There"... Given that this is the theme most people are now associating with the show, its absense is deafening.
