Monk, Thelonious - A Proper Introduction (super special)

SKU 10-PROPER2027
Released on Proper, a great UK label who do an amazing job in terms of packaging, presentation and especially in terms of sonics. This is important, basic repertoire material and should be in every jazz-lover's collection. A great place to hear some of his best stuff and at a amazing price.

It's funny how life works out - Thelonious was considered a crazy man who couldn't really play the piano and now he's considered one of the greats for composing dozens of jazz classics. This collection of his earliest (and best - imo) work is a fine overview.

" One of the most distinctive and individual players and composers in jazz, Monk blazed trails where no-one had ventured before and brought the whole jazz world along in his wake. These early sides show how the elements of Monk's style were in place right from the start - the laidback rhythmic approach combined with a probing harmonic sense. Early tracks from a genius of modern music."
