Monk’s Dream

~ Release by Thelonious Monk Quartet (see all versions of this release, 17 available)

Annotation

A remastered version of the original release, plus three previously unreleased alternate takes, and one alternate take supposedly released (#9-12).
Not clear exactly which one is it, and wether #9 is really an a.t. or an unedited version.
It's also unclear if this material was issued before in the Columbia boxset.
