MONK ALONE
THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA SOLO STUDIO RECORDINGS OF THELONIOUS MONK: 1962-1968

Thelonious Sphere Monk is in the pantheon of American composers and musical thinkers. And although his pianistic efforts, especially the early ones, were at times scorned by those who could not—or would not—acknowledge his brilliance, Monk's approach to the keyboard was every bit as individualistic as his name.

Prior to a productive six-year stay at Columbia Records that began in 1962, Monk (1917–1982) had recorded thrice as a solo pianist. In 1954, he was unaccompanied in Paris; three years later he recorded by himself in New York, followed by a 1959 “live alone” in San Francisco. Monk’s producer at Columbia, Teo Macero, was enthralled by his solo work. Continuing the practice established with earlier Columbia albums of Monk, Macero would sometimes record him alone at the keyboard for possible future use. The results of these sessions can finally be heard.

Full Product Description:
Unlock exclusive access to “The Construction of Black Civilization: Volume I”, a powerful presentation by Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon, delivered at the 41st ASCAC Conference on May 3, 2025, at 11:45am Eastern.
This 43-minute, 45-second video challenges the mainstream framing of sxm km ‘Black Power’ Pan-Afrikanism as a modern invention. Instead, it reveals its deep classical roots in the civilization of Kmt ‘The Black Nation’, as documented by the Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’ themselves.
Using historical linguistics and comparative textual analysis, this presentation examines:


Self-identification as Black by the Kmt(yw) in primary texts


Strategic collaboration and mutual defense among Black nations


Military and ideological resistance against non-Black aAmw ‘eurasians’


The Dikènga Theory as a framework for understanding cyclical Black consciousness and power


Core texts include:


The Autobiography of imAxw Weni


The Prophecy of imAxw Neferti


The Two Stelae of sA Ra Kamose


Through this study, Ɔbenfo Kambon shows that classical Kmt(yw) affirmed and protected their identity as Black people, extended Abibifahodie-based unity with other Black nations, and defended Kmt as the operational center of Black Liberation, not as an abstract idea, but as a lived commitment to the integrity of Black land, thought, and people.
This research is not just historical—it is a Blackprint for action. It offers guidance for contemporary Black movements to reclaim sxm km ‘Black Power’ across every area of human activity, in alignment with Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’ and the enduring legacy of the Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’ of classical times.
