NotesMonk recorded for Prestige as a leader and sideman between October 1952 (after leaving Blue Note) and December 1954 (before bolting for Riverside). Prestige's initial LPs sliced and diced these sessions, but they're here in chronological order, all 33 memorable tracks on 3 CDs! Drummer Art Blakey joins in on Bye-Ya and Monk's Dream ; Max Roach beats the skins on Trinkle Trinkle; Reflections, and Bemsha Swing, and bassist Percy Heath visits for Nutty; Work, and Blue Monk. Triumphant!
