Monk sessionography

[nmorin]

With this week's reissues of four of Monk's Columbia studio albums, each with a host of alternate takes, it got me wondering -- are there any online Monk sessionographies like Peter Losin's "Miles Ahead"? I've come across a couple discographies, but nothing with a list of the studio sessions with tracks in the order of recording, and so on.

this one most probably does not include all the new stuff from the new Legacy CD reissues:

Pretty good nevertheless.

Not as detailed as the 'Miles Ahead' site but a pretty good job is this site

If you need a more detailed list, you will have to purchase the Chris

Sheridan bio/discography 'Brilliant Corners' from Greenwood.

there is (or was) a better one, but I cannot access it right now.

Ubu, yes I remember seeing a different Monk discography site but it looks like it

went down. Well, we needn't!

They list an underground recording of Monk and Charlie Rouse from 1951! It would be interesting to hear what they sounded like together back then.

The '51 listing is a 78 by vocalist Frankie Passions. Rouse didn't think it was him. Rouse said he didn't play with Monk 'til years later.

I think I've saved that other discography in my home computer. Anyone interested drop me a PM, don't forget your emai-address, then I'll mail it (it's a huge word-file)

this should be the link: www.achilles.net/~howardm/tsmonk/tsmonk2.php - maybe it comes back...

Thanks, Chuck.
