Genius, April 17 2010

Monk isn't easy to "get". His melodies and chords I would describe as complicated. But, behind all the disharmony and 11ths and so forth.. it swings. This is my favorite Monk album. It's an amazing record and that's all you can say.

Brilliant Monk, Mar 28 2008
By John J. Petersen "kayaker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brilliant Corners (Rm) (Audio CD)
I do not need to add much to the reviews of the original album, it is a classic.Legendary Producer Orrin Keepnews has been honored with a collection of Remastered CD's of the albums he has been associated with; complete with liner notes. Since I am a more recent fan of Monk, this remastering gives me a reason to buy this highly regarded cd for the first time. The high reviews do not disappoint... and my education of thelonius monk continues!
BTW - A second version of Pannonica is not a bad thing as far as im concerned. it is a great song!

There seems to be some consensus that this is a classic, but I am unable to enjoy it. I absolutely love Monk's Dream and was looking for more. In contrast, this collection seems saxaphone-heavy, with Monk most often deep back. Monk's Dream seems carefully crafted whereas here I feel like I'm walking in on a club performance with a lot of one-off improvisation. And the tempo here is soporific, as if everyone's under-the-influence. There is not a lot of material on the recording, but more of the same would not help me. My search for a great second Monk recording continues...
Listmania!
