    LIMITED EDITION IN SPECIAL SIX-PANEL DIGIPACK + INSIDE BOOKLET


    THELONIOUS MONK featuring JOHN COLTRANE / MONK'S MUSIC
    THE COMPLETE LP + 5 BONUS TRACKS


    Presented here is the complete original album Monk's Music (Riverside RLP12-242), featuring Thelonious Monk with a septet including both tenor sax luminaries John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins. This edition also contains further studio recordings by Monk and Trane, among them a blues performance from the same sessions (in which Monk sits out) and an outstanding alternative take of "Off Minor".


    Down Beat: Monk's Music
    "The album is to date the best cross section of what Monk is doing today with a group. Throughout, Monk is the dominant force. The music, whether blown by the horns or rapped out by his hands, is as much a part of him as his thoughts. It is a tribute to Monk that within this intensely personal music, a soloist like Coltrane can develop a singularly personal style of his own, while fitting into the frame of Monk's reference. This is one to play again and again with no diminution of pleasure, or of discovery." (Dom Cerulli)
