An innovative and idiosyncratic pianist, Thelonious Monk has been hailed as one of be-bop's founding figures, with unexpected melodic shifts and dramatic hesitation hallmarks of his work. '5 By Monk By 5' is one of the lesser-known sessions recorded for Riverside in the late 1950s and is one worthy of a wider audience; it features the bright swing of the new 'Jackie-ing' and the more dissonant 'Played Twice,' alongside engaging revisits of 'Straight No Chaser,' 'I Mean You' and 'Ask Me Now,' the interplay between Monk, cornetist Thad Jones and saxophonist Charlie Rouse especially noteworthy. Definitely worth investigating.
