The Thelonious Monk Quartet - Monk In Copenhagen (1996)

Recognized as one of the most original musicians in American
history, Thelonious Sphere Monk fashioned a startlingly unique,
inimitable playing and composing style that influenced virtually
every succeeding jazz generation. His playing technique offered a
percussive approach to the piano, identified by sparse, complex,
sometimes dissonant harmonies, developed from unusual intervals and
rhythms, and imbued with warmth and playfulness.

Recorded live by The Danish Broadcast Corp., Jazz Dept. at Odd
Fellow Palaeet, Copenhagen, Denmark on May 17, 1961. All titles
previously unissued!
