4.0 out of 5 stars Entry - level Monk, March 12, 2000
By Spiros Glikas (Athens, Ampelokipi Greece) - See all my reviews
If you haven't heard of The Man, this one is a good way to start. Contains most of his celebrated compositions, though under CBS (the Prestige years are for me the best), with Charlie Rouse on tenor it' ll open your appetite for more. That is if you dig it!
