Madrid, in the seventeenth century. Abandoned at the doorstep of a monastery, Ambrosio has been brought up by the Capucin Friars. After becoming a friar himself, he becomes an unrivaled preacher whose sermons draw crowds and earn him the admiration of all. Admired for his extreme rigor and absolute virtue, Ambrosio is certain he is safe from any temptation. But Satan has not said his final word...
The studio and live recording sessions that Thelonious Monk cut during his six-year stay at the Riverside label are compiled over the 15 discs in the Complete Riverside Recordings. This middle era -- between his early sides for Prestige and the final ones for Columbia -- is generally considered Monk's most ingenious and creative period. The sessions are presented in chronological order, accurately charting the progression and diversions of one of the most genuinely enigmatic figures in popular music. The Complete Riverside Recordings explores Monk's genius with a certain degree of real-time analysis that simply listening to each of the individual albums from this era lacks. This is due in part to the 14 additional performances exclusive to this collection. However, a more satisfying level of assessing Monk's indelible marks of extemporaneous perfection can be heard within his prankster-like sense of timing or innate penchant for sophisticated arrangements. Among the sessions captured on this exhaustive set are the Duke Ellington sides and the Sonny Rollins era (which yielded the genre-defining Brilliant Corners), as well as meetings with Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, and Gerry Mulligan. Additionally, the entire Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall performance is presented just as it went down -- with solo and quartet sets intact. Accompanying the discs is a 28-page full-size (12"x12") booklet that is indispensable in dispelling myths and making sense of the convoluted and seemingly random order in which many of these recordings have been previously issued. It also contains a complete sessionography annotated by Monk's producer during this era, Orrin Keepnews. This is a convenient, albeit pricey way to obtain all of this remarkable music.

Thelonious Monk - Original Album Classics (5CD Boxset) (2007)
Release: 2007 | Track: 64 (5CD) | Format: MP3 CBR 320 Kbps | Size: 946 MB Genre: Jazz | Label: Columbia/Legacy Euro
2007 five CD set, a great installment in Sony/BMG's Original Album Classics series that brings together rare and out of print titles with some best sellers from the Sony/BMG Jazz catalog. Many of these albums have been unavailable on CD for some time and are sought after by collectors. Each set is presented in a high quality, rigid cardboard slipcase containing five 'vinyl replica' mini LP sleeves. This collection from the Jazz great includes the albums Straight No Chaser, Underground, Criss Cross, Monk's Dream and Solo Monk.
This was one of the nearly 50 concerts performed by the so-called Giants of Jazz, a true all-star group that toured Europe during the last few months of 1971 and the first few months of 1972. This band put an almost retired Thelonious Monk back on the road, and reunited him with Art Blakey, who had participated on some of Monk s early studio sessions.
Monk Alone - The Complete Columbia Solo Studio Recordings of Thelonious Monk (1962-1968) (1998)
2CDs | Genre: Jazz | Release: 1998 | Label: Columbia/Legacy | MP3 320 kbps | 363 MB
All tracks have been digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Mark Wilder and Rob Schwarz at Sony Music Studios, New York, New York. For as much of an idiosyncratic stylist as he was, Monk was always a musician's musician, creating a unique framework for his collaborators that both stimulated and challenged them. But his was also a very personal vision, one that essentially began and ended in his own head, with Monk reaching into the outside world only to find the pieces necessary to complete his beautiful sonic puzzles. It makes sense, then, that much of Monk's music benefited from solo piano treatments like those collected on this unparalleled two-disc set. Without the input or contrast of other musicians to cast his innovations in relief, Monk's sheer creativity seems that much more startling. From his drastic reworkings of standards like "Body & Soul" to scaled-down adaptations of his own classic compositions such as "Ruby, My Dear," he startles with the level of his invention. To listen to MONK ALONE is to be awed by the uncompromising, singular visions of one of jazz's most unique thinkers.
Thelonious Monk fans in particular are advised to search for this valuable two-LP set for it contains a variety of unissued material from the pianist/composer's six-year period with Columbia. Monk is heard on three piano solos, with his regular working quartet, heading a trio on "Easy Street" and at his renowned Lincoln Center concert with a nonet on "Light Blue" and "Bye Ya." The music on this two-fer is at the same consistent high level as his Columbia recordings of the 1960s and contains some surprising moments.
