Reissue in the
high-fidelity Blu-spec CD format (fully compatible with standard CD
players). The mystery and haunting angular beauty of Thelonious Monk's
unadorned keyboard sides are the focus of Solo Monk. As if possessing
the history of jazz in his hands, Monk's solo recordings and
performances from every phase of his career remain pure. The components
of what made Monk such an uncompromising composer, arranger, and
especially bandmember are evident in every note he plays. The disc
includes both Monk originals as well as several covers of pop music
standards.
A majority of these sides were cut during a West Coast swing in
late-October/early-November 1964. This highly productive jaunt would
likewise yield two live releases: Live at the It Club and Live at the
Jazz Workshop; both would feature Monk's quartet. On an emotional level,
however, these sides arguably surpass many of the band recordings.
"Sweet and Lovely" contains several passages that are played with the
command and intensity usually demanded of a classical work. The intense
yet sophisticated chord progressions that punctuate "Ruby, My Dear"
transform what once were simple pop melodies into unaccompanied
rhapsodies. Monk transforms the solitude of "Everything Happens to Me"
into a minor bop masterpiece replete with his signature disjointed
phrasings and variable pacing.
