Jazz legend Thelonious Monk made his earliest recordings as a leader for Blue Note in 1947 and over the next five years Alfred Lion recorded the pianist in a variety of settings documenting his utterly unique music. The 1956 12” compilation Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 2 (BLP 1511) featured classic Monk compositions including ‘Straight No Chaser’, ‘Four In One’, and ‘Monk’s Mood’.
