By far one of my favorite albums, Monk's Dream is a constant on my iPod. I love Jazz music but I am not always in the mood for it. But this album is an exception. No matter what mood I am in, musically, I cannot help but marvel at the genius behind each song. If you ever wanted to look at music differently, this album will definately do that. During a radio program on Columbia University's WKCR, a Columbia student was going on about how Monk created Art out of wrong notes. I have to say that there is something there because it does appear that way to someone like me. It opens up your world to endless musical possibilities. However, I should state, that according to the same story, Thelonious Monk called the radio station and stated to the student "The piano ain't got no wrong notes." But it is easy for someone like him to say this because as far as he is concerned, their aren't any wrong notes when they are in his capable hands.
