Thelonious Monk was a little-known figure on the New York City bebop scene when Blue Note founder Alfred Lion discovered and fell in love with the pianist\u2019s utterly unique music and offered Monk his first opportunity to record as a leader in 1947. Over the next five years Lion recorded Monk in a variety of different settings performing his singular compositions. In 1956, Blue Note transitioned from the 10\u201d to the 12\u201d LP and began the 1500 Series releasing two expanded Monk compilations including Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 2 (BLP 1511) which presented classic Monk tunes like \u201cStraight No Chaser,\u201d \u201cFour In One,\u201d and \u201cMonk\u2019s Mood\u201d and featured one of Reid Miles\u2019 earliest cover designs for the label.<\/p>\n
