Thelonious Monk Septet – Monk's Music Vinyl Me, Please. Classics – C073
VMP's Classics Record of the Month for June 2023 is Thelonious Monk and his septet's massive Monk's Music. It's pressed on AAA 180g black vinyl with lacquers cut from the original master
On Monk’s Music, Thelonious Monk elected to use a bigger sonic canvas than he’d used before by adding four horns to a rhythm section of piano, bass and drums — with Gigi Gryce, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Wilbur Ware, Ray Copeland and Art Blakey joining him to form a septet. This album marked a defining moment in jazz; not just for its enigmatic architect, Monk, whose genius was now beginning to be recognized, but also for Coltrane.
