Thelonious Monk discography

Thelonious Monk jazz pianist discography.

Discography

Blue Note Records (1948–1952)

The recording session dates reflect the CD editions of these albums. Prior LP versions contained the six Blue Note recording sessions in different, non-chronological configurations.

Later Releases:

Original 10" LPs

Before their eventual formulation into three somewhat haphazard, non-chronological 12-inch LPs, Thelonious Monk's Prestige output consisted of five strictly chronological LPs. The LPs were re-released by Craft Records in a limited edition in 2017. The LPs were released in the 1950s as follows:[1][2][3][4]

The majority of the contents of the first 4 of these five LPs were released, sequenced mostly in order, on a Prestige double-LP compilation in 1972, PR/PRT 24006, Thelonious Monk. The exception was the take of "Think of One" selected; on the compilation, Take 1 was used instead of the originally-selected Take 2.
