Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

Thelonious Monk - The Complete Blue Note Recordings: X stars
Did analysis/plays of Genius of Modern Music Volume One and Genius of Modern Music Volume Two, and opted for The Very Best as the best alternative. All the other compilations, including the two Genius volumes, have alternate takes put in after the "main" tracks. I'd love to read a single Monk review that doesn't use the word "compositional."
