This release presents all existing solo piano studio master takes recorded by the great Thelonious Monk from his very first ones in 1954 up to his first album for Columbia in 1962. While the majority of Monk’s recordings are in a quartet format his unaccompanied tracks are full of magic and allow the listener to apprehend his music without the interference of other musicians. Two rare solo piano pieces recorded at the New York home of the Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter (among them the earliest existing version of “Pannonica”) and two alternate takes from the studio sessions have been added as a bonus.
