Thelonious Monk Trio

Europe 2018 press. Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, 180 Gram.
Early Monk, stripped back to the essentials: piano, bass, drums, and plenty of space for those off-kilter chords to shine. Quirky, clever, and surprisingly tender in spots — like he’s letting you in on the joke but still playing it sideways. FFO: Piano keys that sound half drunk, bass lines doing laps, drummers with patience, and anyone who reckons silence is part of the solo.
