About this pressing

Released in 1957 on Riverside, Brilliant Corners is one of Thelonious Monk’s most important albums — a daring, inventive session that pushed the boundaries of modern jazz composition. With a stellar lineup featuring Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Ernie Henry (alto sax), Oscar Pettiford (bass), Max Roach (drums), and guest appearances from Paul Chambers and Clark Terry, the album captures Monk at his most creative.

The title track’s jagged rhythms and unusual structure set the tone, while pieces like Pannonica and Bemsha Swing reveal Monk’s lyrical side. Max Roach’s timpani on Bemsha Swing and Rollins’s bold improvisations make the record a true collaborative triumph.

Innovative, challenging, and deeply rewarding, Brilliant Corners is a landmark in jazz history and an essential part of any serious collection.
