Thelonious Monk - Chordialy, 1971

Chappell Studios, London, England, November 15, 1971 To get into the swing of things, he pianos on the Steinway in the center of the studio. Fortunately, the recorders are already running: it's extremely rare to hear a top musician warming up for almost ten minutes. Most of the time, it's a question of testing the quality and reactivity of the instrument placed at the artist's disposal. But, as Monk is not just anyone, he experiments with chords, creating fragments of melodies, and while there's no doubt that this is Monk, it's unlike anything we've ever heard of him. The record delivers an unconstrained music, superb in its harmonic invention, which Bates, playing on words, christened Chordialy (“cordially” - sincerely, and “chord” - chords)
