Lee, please tell me you're just asking about the sound and not the music.

Yes, we already have this classic. I listened to the album in my car and the redbook even sounds good.
Monk was a genius and so far ahead of his time that it took people a while to recognize it.
I first became familiar with him when I heard Wynton Marsalis play "Think of One" at Cabell Hall at the University of Virginia. Mindblowing stuff. I can't even comprehend how Monk came up with the music.
This disc is a great collection-Max Roach on drums, a nice Clark Terry appearance on Bemsha Swing. Sublime album.
