It's Monk's Time

It's Monk's Time is probably the most appropriate title for a Thelonious Monk album. The fact that he was on the cover of Time Magazine in February of that year (1964) shows how important the jazz composer and pianist was.

It is also an essential part of his discography with the impressive jazz classic "Stuffy Turkey" and the amazing interpretation of "Nice Work If You Can Get It", originally composed by George Gershwin.

Monk recorded the album together with Butch Warren, Ben Riley, Charlie Rouse, and Teo Macero.
