The record
Title: Thelonious Monk – Criss-Cross
Year/Genre: 1963, Jazz
Matrix #: CS 8838
Condition: VG+++
Description:
Released in 1963 on Columbia, Criss-Cross was recorded during Monk’s mid-career resurgence, after he had finally gained wider recognition following years of being considered an outsider in the bebop movement. Featuring his classic quartet with Charlie Rouse, John Ore, and Frankie Dunlop, the record captured Monk’s angular piano style in polished studio form at a time when Columbia was introducing him to a broader audience. Coming at the height of the civil rights era, Monk’s growing prominence reflected both his persistence as a Black avant-garde artist and jazz’s evolving role in American cultural identity.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
