Thelonious Monk - Piano Solo - Sam 10" (With Cosmetic Damage)

Cover Has Cosmetic Damage — All Sales Final on This Item

10" Mono LP — Remastered from the Original Mono Master Tapes, Cut by Kevin Gray

Recorded in Paris on June 4, 1954, this is Thelonious Monk's landmark solo piano date — originally issued on Swing/Vogue. Stripped of any trio or quartet, the music reveals Monk's writing in its rawest, most overwhelming form, a black-and-white snapshot of one of the most original artists in jazz at the peak of his powers at age 37. A faithful 10-inch facsimile reissue using the original cover art.
