Master takes indicate original issue. Only the original issues (generally as 78 rpm singles) are listed above. Alternate takes listed as "Mosaic Records" were first released on The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Thelonious Monk by Mosaic Records in 1983, which also contains the complete Thelonious M ▄onk Blue Note discography. thelonious: a book of monk volume one after word thelonious: a book of monk is an elongated serial work in verse which generally purports (with several exceptions) to fashion a poem to and for each of the recorded works of the great african-american pianist/composer thelonious monk. the book of monk is projected to include some 150 discrete verse works written after monk's recordings, each of which is numbered in the book according to a strict chrono-discograhical scheme which follows (with very few exceptions) the exact sequence in which the individual recordings (or, in some cases, groups of recordings) were committed to recording disk or tape between 1947 & 1972. thelonious: a book of monk is organized into four sections: Ñ book one-blue notes (1947-1952) Ñ book two-prestige (1952-1955) Ñ book three-river sides (1955-1962) Ñ book four-columbias (1962-1972) ╞ while the poems from the book of monk are usually presented in performance (and in print) without regard to their place in the numerical sequence, they will eventually be issued-when completed-as are the works in this volume one: according to the order in which the songs which gave birth to the poems were recorded by thelonious monk himself. the poet takes considerable pride in presenting these modest works in sequential order, as the entire book of monk will ultimately appear. the poems were composed primarily to be heard in the ear as well as seen on the page, and, again, here they are. -john sinclair new orleans3.1.686 |
