An absolute genius, Monk brought Jazz piano to levels unheard before, both for composition and interpretation. A musician so ahead of his time that he was often sheepishly denied the credit he deserved, leaving to future and more finely tuned ears the capability to fully understand his potential. Doxy's plan to bring back the magnificent opus of this strong personality in music and art is now enriched with this incredible tribute to one of modern music maestros, along that same trail blazed by Duke Ellington. Faithfully re-released on 180 gram virgin vinyl, this 1955 album originally released on Riverside is back in black for all who want to experience the beauty of music on the grooves that it was made for. CDs? No thanks!
