Day 4: Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners (1957)


Ah jazz, you are quickly becoming my constant companion with so many of the acclaimed albums of the 50's  beings jazz records. Thelonious Monk was unlike Duke Ellington or Count Basie in that his album was slow, piano heavy and most of the songs were over 5 minutes long. I enjoyed this record, "Brilliant Corners" is an album you can put on in the background and think about your life as you listen to it. 4/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Brilliant Corners, I Surrender Dear, Bemsha Swing & Pannonica.
