NotesThelonious Monk Quartet's "The Complete Columbia Studio Albums Collection" is a treasure trove collection that brings together all the six studio albums recorded by the iconic jazz pianist and his quartet during his tenure with Columbia Records. This box set includes the albums recorded between 1960 and 1968, showcasing Monk's unique approach to jazz and his influence on the genre. His quartet, featuring tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassists Larry Gales, John Ore or Butch Warren, and drummers Ben Riley or Frankie Dunlop, exhibits a cohesive and dynamic interplay throughout these recordings. Rouse's saxophone work is particularly noteworthy, providing a melodic counterpoint to Monk's angular piano lines. The box features a mix of well-known compositions and lesser-known gems. Whether you are a long-time fan or new to Monk's music, this box set offers a comprehensive and satisfying listening experience that highlights the genius of one of jazz's greatest pioneers.
