Note (from Thomas Fitterling's Thelonious Monk, His life and music): "Columbia recordings that were passed over for release at the time of recording were later issued on this 1979 double album. [ ] the piano solo This Is My Story, This Is My Song, is actually the hymn "Blessed Assurance" an allusion by the mature Monk to his youthful Wanderjahre.
