Over the next five years Lion recorded Monk in a variety of different settings performing his singular compositions. In 1956, Blue Note transitioned from the 10\" to the 12\" LP and began the 1500 Series releasing two expanded Monk compilations including Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 2 (BLP 1511) which presented classic Monk tunes like \"Straight No Chaser,\" \"Four in One,\" and \"Monk's Mood\" and featured one of Reid Miles' earliest cover designs for the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eCarolina Moon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHornin' in\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSkippy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLet's Cool One\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSuburban Eyes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEvonce\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eStraight No Chaser\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFour in One\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNice Work (If You Can Get It)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMonk's Mood\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWho Knows?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAsk Me Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"180g LP","offer_id":44418855993459,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/71WHb9hSRCL._SL1500.jpg?v=1772298691","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/thelonious-monk-genius-of-modern-music-vol-2-blue-note-classic-vinyl-edition","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
