Portrait Of An Ermite:

Thelonious Monk - Solo Piano

Thelonious Himself is a mostly solo set by pianist Thelonious Monk. Monks
hesitant stride and thoughtful yet very unpredictable flights are always a joy
to hear. He performs a variety of swing standards (including April in Paris and
Im Getting Sentimental over You), his blues Functional and as a bonus track,
there is an alternate take of Round Midnight from the earlier date. The one
non-solo track is Monks Mood, a ballad that finds Monk joined by tenor
saxophonist John Coltrane and bassist Wilbur Ware. The overall results are not
quite essential but they should greatly interest Thelonious Monk fans who do not
have his huge Riverside box set. [Originally released in 1957, Thelonious
Himself was reissued on CD in 1988 and again in 2006. - Scott Yanow
