Description
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.
Monk's third Riverside album, Brilliant Corners — the first to include horns and emphasize his original compositions — is recognized as the first major step in his rise from being considered a mere eccentric to rightful acceptance as a true jazz giant.
Released in 1957, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Monk’s genius as a composer, pianist, and bandleader. With its complex harmonies, angular melodies, and unpredictable rhythms, “Brilliant Corners” defies convention and challenges the listener to explore new sonic territories.
