Customer Reviews:

Monk is a MASTER.......2006-10-27

this CD is a good overview of the music of Thelonious Monk, so if you are not prepared to go out and buy all of his CD's, just want to get a feel for his masterful piano playing, then you should buy this CD. Great selections, great recordings, you will definitely not be disappointed.

This is the best of Monk, but..........2004-09-04

Monk is my absolute favorite, I have dozens of his albums and box sets. The quality on this CD is great, the song selections are great. The only thing I would recommend is that if you plan on buying more of Monk's recordings this "Greatest Hits" CD will kind of spoil it for your. You remember the best of the Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Beatles, Elvis whatever. You'll never want to buy another album because some of the songs will be on it. If you just discovered monk go get Mysterioso, Straight No Chaser or Monk's Blues. It's not like you'll find any bad tracks on those albums, so why just eat the frosting! I love that they are remixing all this great music!
