Thelonious Monk 
Criss-Cross 
Audiophile pressing from ORG Music

Criss-Cross, Thelonious Monk’s second album for Columbia Records, features 
some of the finest work that Monk ever did in the studio with his ‘60s trio and quartet. 
It has never sounded better than on this 180gram pressing, which was 
mastered from original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman and pressed on 
audiophile-grade vinyl. Limited to 2,000 units worldwide, each copy is 
individually numbered with a gold-foil stamp. Whether revisiting pop 
standards or reinventing Monk's own classic compositions, Monk and 
Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), John Ore (bass), and Frankie Dunlop (drums) 
exchange powerful musical ideas, as well as provide potent solos throughout 
the recording. Fittingly, "Hackensack", a frenetic original composition, opens
 the disc by demonstrating the bandleader's strength in a quartet environment. 
The solid rhythmic support of the trio unfetters Monk into unleashing 
endless cascades of percussive inflections and intoxicating chord progressions. 
The title cut also reflects the ability of the four musicians to maintain melodic 
intricacies that are at times so exigent it seems cruel that Monk would 
have expected a musician of any caliber to pull them off. "Tea for Two" 
showcases Monk's appreciation for the great stride or "walking" piano style 
of James P. Johnson and Willie "The Lion" Smith. The arrangement here is 
lighter, and features a trio (minus Rouse) to accent rather than banter with 
Monk's splashes of magnificence throughout. Likewise, Monk's solo on 
"Don't Blame Me" is excellent. The extended runs up and down the 
keyboard can't help but reiterate the tremendous debt of gratitude owed 
to the original stride pianists of the early 20th century. This is prime 
Monk for any degree of listener.
