Thelonious Alone in San Francisco

by Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Alone in San Francisco cover art

Captured during a series of solo performances at the empty Fugazi Hall, the recording strips away all rhythmic accompaniment. The unaccompanied setting distills his highly idiosyncratic, percussive phrasing, emphasizing his deep roots in traditional stride piano mechanics and the blues.
