flatted fifth or tritone. It was only recorded once, on February 14, 1968, for the album Underground. Reflections aka (portrait of an ermite) A popular ballad in AABA-form that was first recorded on December 18, 1952, for the album Thelonious Monk Trio. The tile was given by Ira Gitler, who was the producer for the session. The tune also appears on the albums Piano Solo as "Portrait of an Ermite", Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2, Thelonious Alone in San Francisco, and on Monk's Blues. According to Gary Giddins it is "classic, paradoxical Monk, beautiful and memorable yet a minefield of odd intervals, each essential to its bricks-and-mortar structure". In the 1980s, Jon Hendricks wrote lyrics for the song for Carmen McRae, who released it on her album Carmen Sings Monk under the name "Looking Back". Dianne Reeves sang the tune on her 2003 album A Little Moonlight. Rhythm-A-Ning A tune based on rhythm changes in B, and one of Monk's staple tunes. "Rhythm-A-Ning" was first recorded on May 15, 1957, for the album Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk, and later appears on Mulligan Meets Monk, Les Liaisons dangereuses 1960, and on Criss-Cross.

Monk and Williams were close friends. Jon Hendricks added lyrics to the tune, retitling it Listen to Monk and it appears on Carmen McRae's album Carmen Sings Monk. The piece has since appeared on dozens of Monk's releases, as well as being covered by musicians such as Dexter Gordon, Kenny Barron, and Chick Corea. Round Lights An improvised blues in B recorded in October 1959 for Thelonious Alone in San Francisco. The album's liner notes claim the title is "in honor of" the "ancient, ornate chandeliers" in Fugazi Hall, where the album was recorded. 'Round Midnight "'Round Midnight" is Monk's most recorded tune, and the world's most recorded standard by a jazz musician.
