Description
Thelonious Monk’s Brilliant Corners is a landmark title in the pianist’s celebrated catalog. The 1957 album not only introduces several Monk originals, but also features an all-star lineup, including Sonny Rollins, Max Roach and Paul Chambers. Small Batch Series features lacquers cut from the original tapes (AAA) by Bernie Grundman and pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI using Neotech’s VR900 compound. This one-step lacquer process (as opposed to the standard three-step process) allows for the utmost level of musical detail, clarity and dynamics while reducing the amount of surface noise on the record. Each copy is individually numbered and encased in a foil-stamped, linen- wrapped slipcase featuring an acrylic inset of the original artwork. Housed in a reproduction of the album’s original tip-on jacket from Riverside Records and protected by an archival-quality inner sleeve. New liner notes from Ashley Kahn completes the package. Limited Edition.
