  • Description

    The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl.

    'Thelonious Alone in San Francisco' marks Monk's third solo piano album. Although he generally performed and recorded in a quartet format (with tenor saxophone, bass, and drums), he led numerous groups of varying sizes throughout his career. Despite the superlative quality of the music, Monk's recordings for solo piano are scarce.

    "I would like to point out that this LP, perhaps more than any other, brings you several of the many faces of this remarkable musician. This LP would do very well, by the way, as an introduction to Monk's music for those who have been frightened by all the ritual and exotica." - ***** Ralph J. Gleason, DownBeat
