Kreilly Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/10-CD-Box-BEST-OF-*THE...807261181r19755 Very little playing time per disc! The ebay description is misleading. I believe these are all early public domain recordings, it is not a "Best of" collection. I would like to know the session info for the discs in this set. The recoding quality varies a bit. I am unable to easily match the tracklisting to the Monk sessionography. Disc ten is a tribute to Monk. CD 1 Recollections (W. Thomas) 2:41 Flyin’ Hawk (W.

Ken Dryden Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Why would anyone buy this counterfeit piece of crap? Yeah, European copyright laws allow this nonsense, but this material is available in more complete form from legitimate U.S. labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blajay Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Why would anyone buy this counterfeit piece of crap? Yeah, European copyright laws allow this nonsense, but this material is available in more complete form from legitimate U.S. labels. I agree, I wouldn't have bought it--it was a gift from someone who didn't know better and saw the cheaper price for the amount of music. In addition to the gift, I have the monk complete blue note, complete riverside, complete columbia solo, complete vogue/black lion. It would still be nice to know what the personell, sessions this one is from, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 In addition to the Monk led sides on BN and Prestige, I quickly spotted the Hawkins quartet from '44, the Verve Bird & Diz session, the Prestige Rollins quartet with Monk and Miles Prestige date with Bags and Monk.

Kreilly Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 In addition to the Monk led sides on BN and Prestige, I quickly spotted the Hawkins quartet from '44, the Verve Bird & Diz session, the Prestige Rollins quartet with Monk and Miles Prestige date with Bags and Monk. Thanks Chuck. I already own nearly all of it. For $15 it was tough to pass up. The packaging is poor, there are no liner notes and it could have fit on 5 discs.

jimac51 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Check out your local FYE(Trans World) stores. There is a 7.99 bargain bin in most stores,usually located in the back.As of this writing,they are taking 50% off at the register. I got this set for four bucks. There was a Sinatra box from the same source carried by FYE a couple of years back-10 discs,which I scooped up at 20 bucks,only to see it later for 15.

TenorSax Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 http://www.trezise.ca/thelonious-monk---wallet-box-10-cd-by-track http://www.trezise.ca/thelonious-monk---wallet-box-10-cd-by-artist I created these lists after matching up the tracks with the recording sessions listed on the Monk Discography A review on amazon by Mike Tarrani gives this more general info: CD1 contains some tracks from Coleman Hawkins - Bean And The Boys (Prestige PR 7824) recorded in October 19, 1944. CD2 contains some tracks from Thelonious Monk - Genius Of Modern Music, Vol. 1 (Blue Note BLP 1510) recorded in October 1947. CD3, CD4 and and CD5 contain some tracks from The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Thelonious Monk (Mosaic MR4-101) recorded between 1947 and 1952. CD6 and CD7 contain some tracks from Thelonious Monk - Monk (Prestige PRLP 7053) recorded in November 1953 and May 1954. CD8 contains some tracks from Thelonious Monk And Sonny Rollins (Prestige PRLP 7075) recorded between November 1953 and October 1954. CD9 contains tracks from two albums: Miles Davis - Bags' Groove (Prestige PRLP 7109) and Miles Davis And The Modern Jazz Giants (Prestige PRLP 7150), both of which were recorded during the same session on December 24, 1954. CD10 seems to have individual tracks taken from a number of recordings, making it nearly impossible to cite a single source for the majority of tracks.

jazztrain Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 These four tracks on CD1 were originally issued on 78 on Sonora: Recollections (W. Thomas) 2:41 Flyin’ Hawk (W. Thomas) 2:49 Drifting On A Reed (W. Thomas) 3:04 On The Bean (W. Thomas) 2:53 There was no Prestige then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the Joe Davis label (78's 8250 & 8251) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 You're right. Those tracks were on Joe Davis. The 1946 session that was on the Prestige LP (and on which Hank Jones was the pianist) was on Sonora. Sorry for the confusion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
