Monk through the years.  You can sample all the tracks, and they can be downloaded as MP3s.  For the CDs, follow these links:  Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 1, Thelonious Himself, Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane, Monk's Dream.

You can use the search box on the right of this page if you're looking for something in particular.  To sample tracks, just click the title to get to the player on the Amazon site.



The collections below pretty much cover all Monk's recordings and can serve as an aural reference if you're looking for something in particular. They all have samples:

The Complete Blue Note Recordings
Complete Prestige Recordings
The Complete Riverside Recordings
The Columbia Years: '62-'68.
My favorite Monk album is Thelonious Alone in San Francisco. It's pure Monk, but with a vulnerable, introspective, almost haunting quality that penetrates your being with deep musical feeling.  But for some reason, there are no sample tracks.

Also check these out: Dexter Gordon, Hiromi, John Coltrane, Miles Davis.
