Digitally remastered two-fer from the Jazz great containing a pair of original albums on one CD. Features the complete album Thelonious Himself, one of the rare occasions on which Monk dedicated an entire LP to solo piano recordings (with the exception of the last, superb, tune in trio format with John Coltrane and Wilbur Ware). As a bonus, we have included Monk's first solo piano album, recorded in France in 1954, in its entirety. Poll Winners. 2010.
