Thelonious Monk – It's Monk's Time (Speakers Corner)

"It's Monk's Time" is probably the most fitting title for a Thelonious Monk album. The fact that he was on the cover of Time magazine in February of that year (1964) shows just how important the jazz composer and pianist was. With the impressive jazz classic "Stuffy Turkey" and the amazing interpretation of "Nice Work If You Can Get It", originally composed by George Gershwin, it is also an essential part of his discography. Monk recorded the album together with Butch Warren, Ben Riley, Charlie Rouse and Teo Macero.
