Monk, considered one of the greatest Jazz pianists of all time, recorded Underground in '67-'68. It's the last recording with the Thelonious Monk Quartet and one of the last albums he made for Columbia.
Released in 1957, Thelonious Himself is a solo album by Thelonious Monk. The only exception to this is the final track "Monk's Mood," where he is joined by John Coltrane and Wilbur Ware.
Thelonious Monk's Brilliant Corners is a landmark title in the pianist's celebrated catalog. The 1957 album not only introduces several Monk originals, but also features an all-star lineup, including Sonny Rollins, Max Roach and Paul Chambers.
