    Thelonious Monk - Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington (1955)



    I'm breaking the mold on this one. Thelonious Monk is, in my opinion, the best jazz pianist to ever live. He makes the piano comes alive, makes it sound so easy, and where a lot of jazz pianist make the piano sound so harsh and abrasive he makes me silky smooth while still technical. 

    I won't spend a long time talking about him (hence why I added his wikipedia link above), and I know I'm doing wrong by posting this record and not one of his greater ones, but it's just so good. This is Monk playing the tunes of the great Duke Ellington. This is one of my favorite records. I thank my friend Justin for showing me Monk when I lived in Alabama and my friend Mike for reminding me of him. If you are a fan of good, talented musicians, get this now and the rest of his catalog.
