5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL MONK Feb 7 2004
By dane
Format:Audio CD
CRISS-CROSS plays like a monk best of. If your new to monk this should be your first buy with the best of the blue note years. Ah the bonus tracks are great! If only for Eronel, Rouse plays much better on the theme. If only there was a retake of Criss Cross, it was probably ment for an alto. Look these are THEE versions of Think of One,Rhythm-A-Ning,Hackensack,and Eronel(the bonus track).Pannonica is great and Tea for Two,WOW. If only Evidence(my favorite)was on this it would never leave the cd player. Oh WAIT Coming On The Hudson is a jewel here also,great interaction between Rouse and Monk!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE place to start your Monk collection Dec 25 2003
By R. J. Marsella
Format:Audio CD
A great remastered version of one of Monks' masterpiece recordings. Every selection here offers something unexpected and the entire CD swings like crazy. Monks comping on the title track Criss Cross behind Charlie Rouses's temor is something to behold. he is never where you think he's going and yet melodic and perfectly in the tune. This guy was really something special and this CD offers a chance to hear him at his peak. Buy it..you can't go wrong here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Monk release, but there is now a better version... Dec 9 2003
By William E. Adams
Format:Audio CD
In the summer of 2003 Columbia Legacy released an extended version of this 1963 effort by Thelonious. Unless you find this earlier CD at a bargain bin price like I did last week, I'd suggest investing in the newer product. But if you end up with this one, which runs just under 45 minutes, at a price you can afford, you won't be sorry. It is wonderful, as are most Monk records. All the way through, as are most Monk releases. It has humor and quirkiness and odd but fitting juxtapositions, as most Monk efforts show. It would be a good starter kit for those just finding Thelonious, and perhaps it is not his best album, but that is a very subjective decision anyway. I own ten Monk discs now, covering four different labels and 20 years of growth. I think all of them are great. Some like his early Prestige sides, more prefer his Riverside recordings, and more than a few people think his Columbia efforts of the early '60's are not quite as good as his previous work. I don't share that opinion. "Criss Cross" is just pure pleasure, with sax, drums and bass accenting Monk's unique relationship with the keyboard. Don't pass this up if you get a chance to acquire it---this is the kind of disc you can hear again and again and again without getting bored.
