Innovative harmonies and rhythms opened the door to modern jazz.
This is a masterpiece recorded by pianist Thelonious Monk on Blue Note, and is considered an important record of early modern jazz.
The unique chord progressions and rhythmic placements are striking, allowing for a high degree of freedom for improvisation. The piano keystrokes are firm yet warm, creating a unique sense of space between phrases. The recording is mono, but clear, conveying the full three-dimensionality of each instrument. This historic album, a crystallization of Monk's creativity, has earned a firm place in jazz history.
