The very first 12-inch album in what was to be a most significant catalog also marked the Riverside debut of an artist of towering importance. Fittingly, it was a strikingly original concept: a then-unappreciated revolutionary interpreting the music of a recognized master composer. Once ahead of its time, Monk Plays Ellington now stands as an enduring jazz landmark.

This record is great for two reasons. One is the music of Duke Ellington. The compositions are amazing. That leads to the second reason. Thelonious Monk's interpretations of the these tunes are arranged for a trio. These songs are sort of srtipped down and sparce at least in comparison with the Ellington band recordings. Monk as a player is one of a kind. He displays not only a love for Ellington's music but an theoretical and emotional understanding of it.

If you like Ellington and/or Monk, you cant go wrong with this one. I play it often...great to wake up to on a lazy Sunday too.
