![]() ![]() Recorded during a challenging but productive period for Monk, Trio finds the pianist testing the boundaries of his art, at times almost to breaking point. I’ve been pondering which Thelonious Monk album to choose for a while, but where to start? An obvious choice would be an acknowledged classic like Brilliant Corners, but I’ll leave that for now and instead turn to something that has only been a recent discovery for me: the unassumingly titled Thelonious Monk Trio from 1954. I’m not entirely sure what constitutes a Classic Album for this column most likely it should be bona fide masterpieces like Kind of Blue and Love Supreme (both of which I am bound to cover someday, although I’m not sure they need it) but seeing as it’s entirely up to me what I choose each week I’m going to try something a bit less ubiquitous.
