Thelonious Personnel Thelonious Monk - piano Charles Rouse - tenor saxophone John Ore - bass Frankie Dunlop, Ben Riley - drums Pianist/composer Thelonious Monk may have been jazz's first "minimalist"; not in the sense of "repetition" as in the music of Terry Riley and Steve Reich, but in the notion of the fewest notes played for maximum effect. Monk would never play a flurry of notes when one note would do. He was also one of jazz's great humorists, not as a joke-teller, but as a composer. Listen to the quirky, slightly daffy melodies of "Criss Cross" and "Bye-Ya"--they're rich with the humor and elegance of Pablo Picasso or Groucho Marx. Monk composed one of the most popular and enduring of tunes in jazz history, the rhapsodic yet blues-tinged "'Round Midnight." THE ESSENCE OF THELONIOUS MONK collects a dandy sampling of the early-to-middle '60s recordings Monk made for Columbia. He's presented solo, and in quartet format with his right-hand-man, the great tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse. This is a fine place to get a taste of this jazz legend.
