180-Gram Virgin Vinyl Limited Edition Monk's Dream was the first album Thelonious Monk released on Columbia Records after his less than amicable departure from Riverside Records. Even though Monk had already recorded all of the tracks on the album, with the exception of "Bright Mississippi", in a variety of settings, the powerful cohesion of the quartet produced a first-rate work worthy of the praises it received when released, and which it still receives today. It was Monk's best-selling album ever. THELONIOUS MONK, piano; CHARLIE ROUSE, tenor sax; JOHN ORE, bass; FRANKIE DUNLOP, drums. 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL LIMITED EDITION - THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 2 BONUS TRACKS
