The 1954 album remastered and presented in it’s original artwork.
This reissue of the Everest LP Piano Solos by Thelonious Monk showcases the great composer and innovator on eight tunes, recorded in 1954.
While “‘Round Midnight,” is here, so is “Off Minor,” “Well You Needn’t,” and his gorgeous reading of “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” If you own any of the Riverside or Columbia sides of Monk playing alone, you still need this, because these readings are very different.
Recorded in Paris, France, on June 4, 1954, originally for a radio broadcast.
