nmorin Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 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.

king ubu Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 this one most probably does not include all the new stuff from the new Legacy CD reissues: http://www.jazzdisco.org/monk-dis/c/ Pretty good nevertheless. ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Not as detailed as the 'Miles Ahead' site but a pretty good job is this site http://www.jazzdisco.org/monk-dis/c/ If you need a more detailed list, you will have to purchase the Chris Sheridan bio/discography 'Brilliant Corners' from Greenwood.

king ubu Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 cool, brownie! pretty fast, us darn old europeans! there is (or was) a better one, but I cannot access it right now. ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Ubu, yes I remember seeing a different Monk discography site but it looks like it went down. Well, we needn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 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) ubu this should be the link: www.achilles.net/~howardm/tsmonk/tsmonk2.php - maybe it comes back...
