(Sony had problems with the packaging on this one - the CD is titled "Thélonious Monk" but the personnel is listed as Jimmy Smith - Organ, Nathan Page - Guitar and Donald Bailey - drums. It also lists Satin Doll as one of the tracks.
There's also a problem with the music, at least some of the tracks - Rhythm-a-ning, Body and Soul, I Mean You and April in Paris are from the April 18 1961 concert released on Riverside. It's still great music but just be aware of what's really on the CD)
