The original Riverside record, it is a bit harsh, but “Ruby, my dear”, where Coleman Hawkings soulfully improvises, was a great success.

Thelonious Monk’s Dream, 1963 LP
NEW – Energophone take – 16-05-2020
Monk is an extremely unusual type, worthy of the closest attention. His style I would call not Bebop, as it is customary, but Punk-Jazz. Once a beautiful Columbia studio, it is difficult to recognize it here: hard, aggressive notes have appeared in the sound, the fullness of the 1940s has sunk into oblivion. But Monk doesn’t care about anything, good guy.
