Recorded with Sonny Rollins, Max Roach and a rotating all-star ensemble during the period that transformed Monk from critically misunderstood outsider into one of modern jazz’s most visionary composers and pianists.
Famed for the notoriously difficult title track “Brilliant Corners,” whose shifting structures, unusual phrasing and abrupt tempo changes pushed even elite musicians to their limits, alongside the dreamlike “Pannonica” and rhythmically off-centre “Bemsha Swing.”

Tracklist:
A1 Brilliant Corners
A2 Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are
B1 Pannonica
