Reviews
Monk plays in a trio, his first recordings for Prestige Records.
3/4 (Good).
Short and lively.
I think maybe one of the reasons I like bop is because most of it was recorded in the 78-rpm era when tracks had to be three minutes long.

Monk plays completely solo.
2/4 (Indifferent).
It's maddeningly slow and sparse. You spend most of the album waiting for something to happen next.

Monk's quintet plays 5 of Monk's songs.
2.5/4 (Okay).
Nothing special. The horns (Thad Jones and Charlie Rouse) are the stars of the album.

Monk's quartet plays live in a club.
2.5/4 (Okay).
It has some nice moments, such as when the mediocre sax player isn't having a solo.
