This release presents Thelonious Monk’s first two albums for the Riverside label both of which were recorded in a trio format: The Unique Thelonious Monk (Riverside RLP 12-209) and Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington (Riverside RLP 12-201) which has been added as a bonus.
Both LPs are unusual in that they showcase Monk playing songs by other composers (a selection of varied standards in the case of the former record and tunes by the great Duke Ellington in the case of the latter). Backing Monk are such brilliant musicians as Oscar Pettiford on bass and Art Blakey or Kenny Clarke on drums.

“Memories of You” is an unaccompanied piano performance.
