Thelonious Monks 5 by Monk by 5 on 180g LP from Analogue Productions: Mastered AAA by Kevin Gray from the Original Analog Master Tapes and Pressed at QRP5 by Monk by 5was deliberately conceived and executed as a quintet album. The five are made up of what was, at the time of the 1959 sessions, Monks regular working quartet plus Thad Jones. That is to say, a well-integrated unit with a striking added voice absorbed into it. The album consists of two new Monk compositions and reworkings of three earlier numbers.This is a classic album with a lively quintet that includes Monk, piano; Thad Jones, cornet; Sam Jones, bass; Art Taylor, drums and the amazing Charlie Rouse, tenor sax here just beginning a very fruitful association with Monk and really adding a lot to the session with some incredible tenor work thats as angular and modern as needed for Monks work, yet with a soulful edge that really brings a lot to the music. The albums got five long tracks hence the title and theyre all Monk classics that include I Mean You, Ask Me Now, Jackie-ing, and Straight, No Chaser.
