Advantages: Intimate, excellent recording of the master of jazz piano alone doing what he does best. Disadvantages: There's just not enough of it.
TheloniousMonk is unquestionably one of the greatest musicians of the last century. Joyous, wild, insane, romantic, ecstatic, otherwordly, desperate, monumental - and that's just his facial expressions.
