"Headless Hawk"—a premier jazz collector's label—now joins the "Necromancer" label, which reissues rare titles from handmade, collector-run labels (originally distributed only in very limited circles) using officially acquired master recordings. These rare titles are making a comeback at an affordable price point, featuring a new reissue emblem and a redesigned back cover.

For the first release in the Headless Hawk reissue series, we proudly present a must-listen for piano jazz fans: Thelonious Monk. Experience his spirited rhythms and signature dissonant harmonies. The tracklist is packed with masterpieces, including "Straight, No Chaser" and "Blue Monk."
