THE MONO VERSION APPEARS HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON CD!!!

This release presents the complete original LP Monk’s Dream, in both its Stereo and Mono versions (the Mono version appears here on CD for the first time ever). It marks Thelonious Monk’s first LP for Columbia, which became his best-selling album ever. It features the pianist/composer performing a combination of his own tunes and his favorite standards, which he made his own. He is backed here by his classic quartet featuring Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, John Ore on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums.

Four alternative takes from the same sessions, as well as a program consisting of Monk’s first studio versions of most of the tunes from the album, plus a 1961 live solo piano version of “Body and Soul”, have been added here as a bonus.

PERSONNEL:

THELONIOUS MONK, piano
CHARLIE ROUSE, tenor sax
JOHN ORE, bass
FRANKIE DUNLOP, drums
All tracks recorded in New York on October 31 & November 1, 2 & 6, 1962.
