This was Monk's first recorded work in the watershed year of 1957, in which he broke through to major recognition. It was his first (almost) entirely solo album. It includes at least two performances of lasting significance: the unaccompanied version of his classic "Round Midnight" and the exception to the album's solo format, "Monk's Mood" on which he is joined by Wilbur Ware and John Coltrane.
