Monk's Blues is an album by Thelonious Monk, originally released in 1968. It was re-released on CD in 1994. One of Monk's last recordings, it was produced with a large group of musicians. The arrangements were by Oliver Nelson but were deemed by music critics to be unsympathetic to Monk's writing and playing style.
