Thelonious Monk - It's Monk's Time (Limited Edition, 180 Gram Red Colored) [Import]

DESCRIPTION

It's Monk's Time is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent red coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. It's Monk's Time is probably the most appropriate title for a Thelonious Monk album. The fact that he was on the cover of Time Magazine in February of that year (1964) shows how important the jazz composer and pianist was. It is also an essential part of his discography with the impressive jazz classic "Stuffy Turkey" and the amazing interpretation of "Nice Work If You Can Get It", originally composed by George Gershwin. Monk recorded the album together with Butch Warren, Ben Riley, Charlie Rouse, and Teo Macero.
