Volume One of the two volume Genius of Modern Music set comprises the first sessions Thelonious Monk recorded as a leader, on October 15 and 24 and November 21 of 1947. It is impossible to overstate the importance of these sessions as they include some of the earliest Monk recordings, some that would become standards, including

“Round Midnight? which is now one of the most popular jazz compositions ever.
