Genius of Modern Music, Volume 2

Album by Thelonious Monk

Genius of Modern Music, Volume 2 is a compilation album by American jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, released in 1952. The compilation collects early recordings that document Monk's development of angular, dissonant melodies, unconventional harmonies and a percussive rhythmic approach within the bebop and modern jazz idioms, and it occupies an early, formative place in his recorded output.
