Thelonious Monk -
Brilliant Corners (1957) SHM-SACD
 
 
 

Brilliant Corners is a studio album by American jazz musician Thelonious Monk. It was his third album for Riverside
Records, and the first, for this label, to include his own compositions. The complex title track required over a dozen
takes in the studio, and is considered one of his most difficult compositions.

The album was recorded in
three sessions in late 1956 with two different quintets. "Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues-Are" and
"Pannonica", on which Monk played the celeste, were recorded on October 9 with saxophonists Ernie Henry and
Sonny Rollins, bassist Oscar Pettiford, and drummer Max Roach. The former composition was titled as a phonetic rendering
of Monk's exaggerated pronunciation of "Blue Bolivar Blues", which referred to the Hotel Bolívar where
Pannonica de Koenigswarter resided; Monk had met her during his first trip to Europe in 1954.

On October 15,
Monk attempted to record the title track with the same band during a four-hour session. The complexity of the title
track became a challenge for Monk's sidemen, who attempted twenty-five takes, and led to tension between him and Henry,
who nearly broke down mentally, and Pettiford, who exchanged harsh words with Monk during the session. Monk tried to
make it easier on Henry by not playing during his alto solo. During one of the takes, producer Orrin Keepnews and others
in the control room could not hear Pettiford's playing and checked his bass microphone for a malfunction, but ultimately
realized that he was pantomiming his playing. Without a completed single take, Keepnews ultimately pieced together the
album version from multiple takes.

On December 7, "Bemsha Swing" was recorded with Paul Chambers on
bass and trumpeter Clark Terry, who replaced Henry, and Monk recorded a solo piano version of "I Surrender,
Dear".

According to Down Beat magazine, Brilliant Corners was the most critically acclaimed album of
1957. Nat Hentoff, the magazine's editor, gave it five stars in a contemporary review and called it "Riverside's
most important modern jazz LP to date." Jazz writer David H. Rosenthal later called it a "classic" hard
bop session. Music critic Robert Christgau said that, along with his 1959 live album Misterioso, Brilliant Corners
represents Monk's artistic peak.[6] In his five-star review of the album, Allmusic's Lindsay Planer wrote that it
"may well be considered the alpha and omega of post-World War II American jazz. No serious jazz collection should
be without it."

In 2003, Brilliant Corners was one of fifty recordings chosen that year by the Library
of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. It has also been included in the reference book 1001 Albums
You Must Hear Before You Die, with reviewer Andrew Gilbert saying it "marked Monk's return as composer of the first
order." Because of its historical significance the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
