The 1957 solo masterpiece: Thelonious Monk taking apart "April in Paris" and "I Should Care" at his own impossible, unhurried pace - time stretched and compressed like taffy, harmony lit from angles nobody else could find. And then the closer: "Monk's Mood" with John Coltrane and Wilbur Ware joining, a preview of the partnership that would define that miraculous year. Riverside's solo Monk sessions are the deepest well in his catalog for many of us - solitude as high art, every silence composed as carefully as every note. Japanese Milestone mono pressing, quiet enough to honor all those silences properly.
