These sides are drawn from two sessions recorded not long after Monk left Blue Note and two in the middle of 1954 and feature Art Blakey on most of the cuts. Regarded as a legendary figure in his day, his stature and influence have grown steadily since, leaving him as one of the pre-eminent figures in jazz.
