The Columbia Years: 1962-1968 [BOX SET]
Thelonious Monk Release Date: June 19, 2001
Amazon.com Review
While occasionally maligned, Thelonious Monk's '60s recordings for Columbia yielded many moments of warmth and ingenuity. His first two albums for the label, Monk's Dream and Criss-Cross, rank among his very best; the latter demonstrated the company's success in raising his profile, becoming in 1963 his sole LP to place on the pop charts. This three-CD box, like the 2000 collection of Prestige sessions, aims to push Monk's '60s music into the spotlight shared by his Blue Note and Riverside classics. While deviled by a handful of questionable choices, The Columbia Years for the most part succeeds

It took years for Thelonious Monk to find an audience beyond a devoted circle of the most creative musicians, but today no jazz composer ranks higher than Monk. His angular, dissonant, and percussive piano style, once dismissed as merely eccentric, is recognized as a brilliant transformation of earlier stride techniques and a fountain of rhythmic and harmonic creativity.Brilliant Corners, Best of the Blue Note Years
