Description

You are bidding on Thelonious Monk - The Riverside Tenor Sessions [Limited Edition 7-LP box] (Riverside/Analogue Productions). This is the ultimate audiophile pressing on HQ 180+ premium vinyl done by the masters of Riverside & Prestige re-issues, Analogue Productions. Hand-numbered limited edition #6(!) out of 2500. Mint condition.

Despite various reissue formats over several decades, the seven original LPs contained in THELONIOUS MONK -- THE RIVERSIDE TENOR SESSIONS stood perfectly well on their own at the time of initial release and remain among the highest achievements of a truly golden age. Recorded and released between 1956 and 1961, these seven Monk combo albums were critical in Monk's emergence from a decade of ridicule and neglect to his status at the pinnacle of the jazz pantheon. In addition to some of his best recorded piano performances and more than two dozen of his profoundly personal compositions, these albums provide an overview of the era's major tenor saxophonists, with contributions by Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Rouse and Harold Land. Max Roach, Art Blakely, Roy Haynes and Thad Jones are among the other jazz immortals featured on the essential Brilliant Corners, Monk's Music, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane, Thelonious in Action, Misterioso, 5 by Monk by 5 and Quartet Plus Two at the Blackhawk. Like the Miles Davis quintet records contained in Analogue Productions' MILES DAVIS QUINTET: THE PRESTIGE RECORDINGS, these Monk albums are among the pinnacle of the LP art -- and they have never sounded better. These are superior pressings!
