Monk, Thelonious

The Prophet

In 1954, during his first trip to Paris, the adventurous pianist and be-bop pioneer Thelonious Monk recorded a handful of songs for French radio, later issued as The Prophet. Unencumbered by bass, drums or other a companiment, Monk gives us all we need in left-hand rhythms and right-hand melodies; Round About Midnight and Reflections play masterful command and theres a one-off take of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. Highlighting his capabilities in full, this is required listening for Monk fans and lovers of solo jazz piano.
