“uck you robertsona. like the white community doesn't have enough going for it?? Now you're going to claim jazz for both archivists (old fucking white assholes) and casual listeners (pretentious college aged white douchebags)???”

so what's the real tracklist for this thing and how many tracks should it hav-

Thelonious Monk's discography is a nightmare for jazz archivists and casual listeners alike, so let me first parse this one out as best I can. The harmlessly titled Thelonious Monk Trio is Monk's first studio album proper, coming off the heels of his two Genius of Modern Music compilations (Volume One released in '51, Volume Two a year later) for Blue Note. It's been re-released countless times--sometimes as Monk's Mood, but usually with its original 1954 title intact--on different formats, once in a while with its tracklist shuffled. (The original order, and my favorite, opens with “Little Rootie Tootie”.)

fuck?

"he's the Off Minor of jazz"

FUCK -_-

''"could be considered Monk's “pop” album"''

FUCK




good album I think I've heard it in a correct order?

Well, say the Sput tracklist has 10 tracks listed but mine has 8 (with the same opener/closer!) so have I heard 100% of the album or is anything else a bonus? It may be a loose canon, but what is the vibe!!

8 is the initial release, but the majority of re-releases have 10 with 2 ""bonus tracks"".

10 is definitive I would say.
