Genius of Modern Music, Volume 1

Album by Thelonious Monk

Genius of Modern Music, Volume 1 is a compilation album by American jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, originally released in 1951. The recordings document Monk's early bebop-era work, featuring angular, dissonant harmonies, a percussive piano touch and off-kilter rhythmic phrasing, and serve as an important record of the development of his compositional voice and influence on modern jazz.
