Thelonious Monk - Mønk (Full Album)

This performance, a mixture of Monk originals and interpretations of standards, showcases Monk at his prime: full of avant-garde flair and wit, but always with a swinging feel that explains his title as the 'High Priest of Bebop'. The music was recorded live in Copenhagen in 1963 at the peak of the pianist's career. A year later he was to feature on the cover of TIME magazine, one of only for 4 Jazz artists ever to do so.
