Thelonious Monk - Solo Monk (1964)

Solo Monk, recorded mostly in 1964, features only Thelonious Monk playing piano compositions that are only about half his. I don't know a whole lot about jazz, nor am I a piano player, so I can't try to talk about the intricacies and genious of Thelonious Monk, but it's kind of cool to hear him just playing around on the piano by himself.
