Piano Solo is a 1954 album by jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, recorded in Paris, France on June 4, 1954, originally for a radio broadcast.[1][2]
The original album was released on the French Disques Vogue label as a 10' mini-LP. Several of the song titles were listed inaccurately on the original release, and Monk's first name included an extra 'o'. The material has been re-released over the years, under a number of titles, on GNP Crescendo and several other labels. Some releases include 'Hackensack' as an additional track, sometimes listed inaccurately as 'Well You Needn't (take 2).' [3]
A 2017 re-release by Sony contains all tracks from the original, but in recording order (now reported as being from Club d'Essai, Paris--this was the location of the recording studio [1]); plus, for the first time, the announcement by André Francis. Plus previously unreleased tracks from June 1st and 3rd, 1954, Salle Pleyel, Paris.[4]
Its recording in June 1954 places it chronologically between the recording dates for Monk's 3rd and 4th Mini-LPs for Prestige Records.
