Biography

As influential as he proved to be during the final decades of his lifetime, it appears that Thelonious Sphere Monk (1917-82) has only gained greater stature in the years since his death. Once considered too eccentric and complex to be appreciated by listeners and other musicians, Monk has become a standard of excellence, as both composer and soloist, for those who seek to extend the jazz tradition… Read more in Amazon's Thelonious Monk Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius, April 17, 2010
By 
This review is from: Brilliant Corners (Audio CD)
Monk isn't easy to "get". His melodies and chords I would describe as complicated. But, behind all the disharmony and 11ths and so forth.. it swings. This is my favorite Monk album. It's an amazing record and that's all you can say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Monk, March 28, 2008
By 
This review is from: Brilliant Corners (Audio CD)
I do not need to add much to the reviews of the original album, it is a classic.

Legendary Producer Orrin Keepnews has been honored with a collection of Remastered CD's of the albums he has been associated with; complete with liner notes. Since I am a more recent fan of Monk, this remastering gives me a reason to buy this highly regarded cd for the first time. The high reviews do not disappoint... and my education of thelonius monk continues!

BTW - A second version of Pannonica is not a bad thing as far as im concerned. it is a great song!

5.0 out of 5 stars Let there be light!, July 14, 2008
This review is from: Brilliant Corners (Audio CD)
A lighthouse in the fog, a talking point, a frame of reference, all these things and so much more! A more detailed analysis would only be a spoiler. This is just one of those gems that is better appreciated as a whole rather than critically examined.
