Monks Dream marked the beginning of Thelonious Monks six-year association with
Columbia, and though it broke little new ground with the appearance of only one
new composition (Bright Mississippi, based on the chord changes to Sweet Georgia
Brown), he finally began to reach a wider audience with his first major-label
contract. Accompanied by tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist John Ore, and
drummer Frankie Dunlop, the album became Monks best-selling release of his
entire career. The quartet is in top notch form during the four studio sessions
taped in the fall of 1962 which make up the disc. Although the focus is
frequently on Rouses enthusiastic solos, Monks solo tracks prove to be the most
interesting selections. His jagged reworking of Body and Soul shows his mixes
stride piano with an inventive, unpredictable right hand, while Monks often
hesitant approach to Just a Gigolo proves to be quite humorous, whether or not
it was his intention. This expanded 2002 reissue adds four alternate takes,
three of which are previously unreleased, and it should be considered an
essential purchase for anyone interested in his works. ~ Ken Dryden
