Release Notes:
Orrin Keepnews' commentary (from the new liner
notes): ôThis album was actually one of the major
factors in the successful battle to win new and
wider acceptance for Monk. In the sequence of his
Riverside discography, it followed two initial
albums devoted entirely to 'standards' and offered
the first occasion on this label for Thelonious to
express himself basically through his own writing.
Creating music for five instrumental voices in
terms of his personal and unorthodox construction,
approach and phrasing, he produced some startlingly
brilliant examples of the great depth, wit, and
strength of his style.ö
