Genius of Modern Music Vol 2 (Red Limited Edition)

Get this limited edition translucent red 180 - gram vinyl! Fewer than 1000 were made. It's a must - have for any jazz collection. Volume Two of the Genius of Modern Music set showcases Thelonious Monk emerging as a leader. The playlist is mostly original compositions, like the challenging 'Four in One' with its strange five - against - two quintuplet sequence after a bop intro, and the abstract 'Criss Cross'. After getting through these, you'll enjoy the blues - based 'Straight No Chaser' and the sweet ballad 'Ask Me Now'. The sidemen include young trumpeter Kenny Dorham, bassist Al McKibbon, Art Blakey, and Max Roach (replacing Blakey for half the program).

To use this vinyl, just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle on the starting groove, and enjoy the smooth jazz sounds. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on it. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. If it gets dirty, use a soft, anti - static record brush to clean the surface gently. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can damage the vinyl.
