Consider a few of the remarkable aspects of Monk’s Music. First, of course, are Monk’s own contributions, his compositions and playing - angular and full of beautiful surprises. Is there a melody more unsettlingly endearing than that of "Crepuscule with Nellie"? Then, there is Monk’s bringing together Coleman Hawkins, the patriarch of the tenor saxophone, and John Coltrane, who was on the verge of becoming as influential in the late 1950s and early ‘60s as Hawkins was in the ‘30s. Teaming Wilbur Ware and Art Blakey, volatile rhythm eccentrics, was a master stroke. Another was playing one chorus of an old hymn, "Abide with Me," with ensemble harmonies so rich that in its single chorus of melody the piece envelops the listener. Solos by the underappreciated Ray Copeland and Gigi Gryce are bonuses. Monk’s Riverside period was full of adventure and chance-taking, and Monk’s Music is one of his most stimulating albums.
