Monks is an album by pianist Borah Bergman, bassist Wilber Morris, and drummer Sunny Murray. Featuring interpretations of music by Thelonious Monk, it was recorded on April 30, 1996, in New York City, and was issued in 2019 as a two-CD set by the Some Real Music label. Plans for the album's release were initially abandoned due to errors made by the original recording engineers, resulting in unusable DAT master tapes; however, in late 2018, producer Joe Chonto located alternate versions of the tapes, which were then used by engineer Jeff Willens to reassemble and remaster the final version.[1][2]
