Monk's Music ( RLP 1102) is an important album because it is one of the very few testimonies of Thelonious Monk's band at the time John Coltrane was a regular member. It also showcases a second tenor sax, that of the legendary Coleman Hawkins, who in the 1940sfeatured Monk as the pianist of his band, and with whom Monk made his first studio recordings. A long blues that completed the session but wasn't included in the original LP, plus a quartet date featuring Monk and Coltrane, have been added as a bonus. *****Down Beat:"Throughout, Monk is the dominant force. It is a tribute to Monk that within this intensely personal music, a soloist like Coltrane can develop a singularly personal style of his own, while fitting into the frame of Monk's reference. This is one to play again and again with no diminution of pleasure, or of discovery." (Dom Cerulli)
