'Round Midnight
All Alone
Monk's Mood
Review: Wedged between the high points of Brilliant Corners and Monk's Music, Thelonious Monk's fourth Riverside outing marks a quieter yet pivotal chapter in his discog. Recorded in 1957, a transformative year for Monk, it hears the pianist almost entirely alone at the keyboard, chancing a rare but studious view into his inner compositional world. This session packs a deeply felt solo reading of ''Round Midnight', one of his most enduring pieces, not to mention the cloistered but still group-recorded cut 'Monk's Mood'; the latter track holds special historic significance, as it marks the first recorded appearance of John Coltrane with Monk, alongside unbeaten bassist Wilbur Ware. Though less boisterous than its neighbouring releases, this session reveals Monk in the away-with midsts of a rare creative "zone": distilled, raw, and searching.

This first-ever official release is a historical gem that transports listeners to a defining moment in Monk's career.

Review: Reissued on vinyl, Thelonious Monk's Monk's Music has the maestro at his peak in 1957, backed by an all-star lineup including John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins and Art Blakey. This session epitomizes Monk's genius, with compositions like 'In Walked Bud,' 'Blue Monk,' and 'Round Midnight' asserting themselves as timeless jazz standards. Despite Monk's modest soloing, his leadership allows Coltrane and Hawkins to shine, backed by Gigi Gryce's alto sax, Ray Copeland's trumpet and Wilbur Ware's bass. Art Blakey's percussion adds dynamic rhythm throughout. The album, a meeting of jazz generations, marks Monk's breakthrough, earning him rightful acclaim alongside Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. The session's historical significance is enhanced by its dual release context with 'Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane,' capturing the breadth of Monk's artistry from the same 1957 sessions. For jazz aficionados and newcomers alike, this reissue not only delights with its musical brilliance but also serves as a gateway to exploring Monk's pivotal role in jazz history and the innovative spirit that defines his legacy.

Epistrophy (Closing Theme) (6:20)
Review: Thelonious Monk's Quartet Plus Two At the Blackhawk is a pivotal live performance from 1960 with Monk's quartet alongside trumpeter Joe Gordon and tenor saxophonist Harold Land. The album opens with 'Let's Call This,' where Monk's piano work and Gordon's trumpet blend seamlessly, setting a lively tone. 'Four in One' features intricate improvisations, highlighting the group's cohesive interplay. 'I'm Getting Sentimental Over You' slows the pace with a tender, emotive rendition, underscoring Monk's nuanced piano artistry. 'San Francisco Holiday' is a buoyant, rhythmic piece, while 'Round Midnight' delivers a hauntingly beautiful interpretation of Monk's classic composition. The album closes with 'Epistrophy,' an infectious and rhythmically complex piece that exemplifies the ensemble's dynamic energy and innovative spirit. Overall, Quartet Plus Two At the Blackhawk is a vibrant piece that shows Monk's genius and the extraordinary talents of his band. This well made reissue is another great record in Monk's illustrious catalog.

Review: The mighty Thelonious Monk - already rightly hailed as a Genius of Modern Music as far back as 1951. It might be easy to take for granted his groundbreaking playing in light of the whole jazz culture that has come along since, but he was truly out in front, creating a sound never heard before. As Blue Note celebrates its 75th anniversary, they're revisiting this landmark collection of Monk's earliest works as a bandleader for Blue Note, remastered from hi-res transfers of the original master tapes. This is the best you'll ever have heard these recordings, make no mistake.

Review: It's exceedingly rare to stumble across any unreleased recordings by jazz greats such as Thelonious Monk, let alone find them in the trash. Yet, somewhat remarkably, that's the story behind "Monk", a 1963 recording of the pianist in full flow - accompanied by his "all-star" line-up of Charlie Rouse (saxophone), John Ore (double bass) and Frankie Dunlop (drums) - that mysteriously resurfaced in a Scandinavian skip last year. This album presents a fully remastered version of that rare recording - captured on tape at a live show in Copenhagen - for the very first time. It's a wonderful listen, with Monk and company darting between original compositions and altered jazz standards in typical be-bop style.

Review: The Original Jazz Classics series continues to uphold its legacy with the reissue of Clark Terry's seminal album, In Orbit. Originally recorded in New York in 1958 and featuring the legendary Thelonious Monk in his sole Riverside outing as a sideman, this album is a cornerstone of Terry's discography. Accompanied by Sam Jones on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums, In Orbit features Terry's inept talents as a trumpeter and leader. This reissue, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, benefits from AAA lacquers meticulously cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. The packaging also features a high-quality Tip-On Jacket, reflecting the series' commitment to preserving the integrity of the original release, from cover art to liner notes. Since its inception in 1982, the Original Jazz Classics (OJC) series has been the benchmark for collectible jazz reissues. In Orbit is a prime album to reissue, offering a pristine listening experience that honors the timeless artistry of Clark Terry and his collaborators.
