Mast - Thelonious Sphere Monk: 7 (B+)

Many more than six listens. Update (January 2026): I eventually caved and bought a copy of this when I saw it at #2 on Christgau's Dean's List: The 2010s. I know with albums he really loves, over the years, I eventually come around to appreciating them, so, while copies were still available for a decent price, I got one, basically to save my future self some money. Upped from "liked." I'm not smart enough to appreciate things like this.
