CD Note: The very first 12-inch album in what was to be a most significant catalog also marked the Riverside debut of an artist of towering importance. Fittingly, it was a strikingly original concept: a then-unappreciated revolutionary interpreting the music of a recognized master composer. Once ahead of its time, Monk Plays Ellington now stands as an enduring jazz landmark.
