![Thelonious Monk: Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington (Original Jazz Classics) [RIVERSIDE / CRAFT]](https://cdn.shoplightspeed.com/shops/621399/files/33617564/1652x1652x2/new-vinyl-thelonious-monk-thelonious-monk-plays-du.jpg)
Thelonious Monk's 1955 trio tribute Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington, with Oscar Pettiford and Kenny Clarke: "It Don't Mean a Thing," "Caravan" and "Mood Indigo."
Monk's first Riverside album introduced his genius to a wider audience by turning his unique touch to the songs of Duke Ellington, one of his great heroes.
Recorded in July 1955 with bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Kenny Clarke, this trio session finds Thelonious Monk reimagining eight Ellington classics with his angular harmonies, playful rhythms and unmistakable sense of space.
"It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" bounces with wit, "Caravan" rolls along, and "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady" and "Solitude" are gorgeous, unhurried reflections. A perfect meeting of two jazz giants.
