Description
180 GRAM VINYL. AUDIOPHILE PRESSING. DIRECT METAL MASTERING. EXCELLENT SOUND. DELUXE GATEFOLD EDITION. Brilliant Corners was Thelonious Monk’s third album for Riverside Records and the first for this label to include his own music. The complex title track with its multiple time signature changes required over a dozen takes in the studio and is considered one of Monk’s most difficult compositions. The album features such stars as Sonny Rollins and Max Roach as well as some of the pianist/composer’s most creative writing ever.

“I Surrender Dear” is an unaccompanied piano solo.
