{"product_id":"thelonious-monk-monks-dream-2-bonus-tracks","title":"THELONIOUS MONK - Monk's Dream (+2 Bonus Tracks)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMonk's Dream was the first album Thelonious Monk released on Columbia Records following his less-than-amicable departure from Riverside Records. Although he had previously recorded all of the album's compositions in various settings—with the exception of \"Bright Mississippi\"—the remarkable cohesion of the quartet brought them together into a masterful and unified statement. The result was a critically acclaimed album that earned widespread praise upon its release and continues to be celebrated as one of Monk's finest achievements. It also became the best-selling album of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHELONIOUS MONK, piano\u003cbr\u003eCHARLIE ROUSE, tenor sax\u003cbr\u003eJOHN ORE, bass\u003cbr\u003eFRANKIE DUNLOP, drums\u003cbr\u003eAll tracks recorded in New York on October 31 (B1 \u0026amp; B3), November 1 (A2 \u0026amp; A3), November 2 (A1 \u0026amp; B2), and November 6 (A4 \u0026amp; B4), 1962.\u003cbr\u003eOriginal recordings produced by TEO MACERO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBONUS TRACKS:\u003cbr\u003eA5: Thelonious Monk (p), Gary Mapp (b), Art Blakey (d).

It is a brilliant and absorbing program of five Monk originals and three standards (and they might just as well be originals, so startling is their transformation at his hands). This is a beautiful album in every respect, completely stimulating in each second of its more than 47 minutes” (Pete Welding)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAXTIME CLEAR VINYL","offers":[{"title":"Crystal Clear Vinyl","offer_id":54948836016451,"sku":"RPT-35543","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/369_20261016_1207_113316_112_p_8435723702450_034.jpg?v=1792503112","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/thelonious-monk-monks-dream-2-bonus-tracks","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
