Product Details

Product Description

This album is a 2015 pressing of The London Collection: Volume 1 Vinyl LP by Thelonious Monk.

Offering tremendous late-period performances, The London Collection Vol. 1 is nothing but Monk, improvisational, unhinged, and unrestrained. Alternating between established originals and familiar classics, the pianist weaves magic spells on the 88s, savoring pauses between notes, the decay of chords, and a fluid style that feels more welcome than some of his angular playing.

Originally released by the UK label Black Lion, an imprint that specialized in resurrecting rare gems from US Jazz and Blues Legends, The London Collection Vol. 1 marks what are indisputably Monk's final significant contributions and a can't-miss opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to get closer to the man and his music. Orchestrated by ORG Music, this historical reissue is afforded the ultimate in audiophile production standards, resulting in sonics and presentation befitting the museum-like worth of this record's existence.

The media of this must-have jazz album is new in Mint condition with no visible scratches or sound distortion. The album cover of this album is in Mint condition with no visible wear and tear.

This 180g pressing of Thelonious Monk - The London Collection: Volume 1 Vinyl LP (711574702114) was released by Org Music.
