Thelonious Monk Plays

Thelonious Monk Plays (with Percy Heath and Art Blakey) is a 10" LP by American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, performed by the Thelonious Monk Trio. It was originally released in 1954 as the fourth of five 10" albums by Monk for Prestige (PrLP 189). Its contents were later split between the two 12-inch albums Thelonious Monk Trio (side B of this record) and Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins (side A of this record). It has rarely been re-released in its original format, although it was included in a boxed set by Craft Records in a limited edition in 2017.[1][2][3][4]

Personnel
gollark: Yes, as computers improve birds will be able to operate more independently but still network together to form a B. I. R. D. superintelligence.
gollark: Not each individual bird, only swarms.
gollark: Yes, the B. I. R. D.s' artificially intelligent distributed control system decided to try and damage humanity, so they used their 5G radiation generators to affect the virus.
gollark: Coronavirus caused birds. It was designed to alter people's memories so they remember B. I. R. D. surveillance drones as if they were real animals, but mutated and became dangerous.
gollark: Mostly. Some smaller services are run for free without data mining and whatnot because they're cheap to run, and there's plenty of trustworthy FOSS software.
