Thelonious Monk’s album “Misterioso” is a live recording capturing the essence of Monk’s dynamic performances and innovative jazz style. Released in 1958, the album was recorded at the Five Spot Café in New York City, a venue renowned for its intimate atmosphere and its role in the jazz scene of the 1950s.

It’s notable for its raw, live energy and the seamless interplay between the quartet members. Johnny Griffin’s tenor saxophone work is particularly striking, adding a robust and fluid counterpoint to Monk’s percussive piano playing. Griffin’s solos on tracks like “Nutty” and “Blues Five Spot” showcase his virtuosic technique and ability to complement Monk’s unconventional style.

The rhythm section, with Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass and Roy Haynes on drums, provides a solid yet flexible foundation, allowing Monk and Griffin the freedom to explore and interact creatively. Haynes’ drumming, in particular, is a highlight, known for its crispness and inventive rhythms that propel the music forward.
The album has been praised for its innovative approach to jazz composition and performance, influencing countless musicians and listeners: it remains a testament to Monk’s ability to push the boundaries of jazz while staying deeply rooted in its traditions.

Ermitage Records is one of the longest-running independent record labels specializing in classical and jazz music. Born in the mid-eighties with the publication of some vinyl records by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, it later released CDs of the world’s leading opera, symphonic and chamber artists.

It has always stood out for the quality of its recordings, the careful selection of its repertoire and the care of its editions. Thanks to its constant commitment to the enhancement and publication of musical heritage, the label has become an important point of reference for collectors and music enthusiasts from all over the world.

Along with names such as *Rubinstein*, *Callas*, *Pollini*, *Benedetti Michelangeli* and *Segovia*, over the years the label’s production - distributed in Europe, Japan and the USA - has expanded to artists such as Lucio Dalla, Eugenio Finardi or Stefano Bollani.

In addition to CD titles, Ermitage Records offers for some years reissues in vinyl 180 grams of jazz classics (with names such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker), classical music (Italian Quartet, I Musici and others) and of Italian signwriting (Endrigo, Gaber, Jannacci, Tenco) with remarkable success. With a library of over 400 titles marketed on its own and under license, Ermitage Records also produces editorial series for important Italian newspapers such as Il Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica and for other editorial groups such as Mondadori, RCS, Hobby & Work.
