Тело́ниус Сфир Монк (англ. Thelonious Sphere Monk, 1917—1982) — выдающийся джазовый пианист и композитор, наиболее известен как один из родоначальников бибопа. В своём творчестве придерживался оригинального стиля, был авангардистом и примитивистом.
Его манера игры была не совсем характерна для джаза: музыка была «рваной», изобиловала большим количеством скачков. Тем не менее, такие его композиции, как «Round Midnight», «Ruby My Dear», «52nd Street Theme» и многие другие стали классикой джаза и позднее исполнялись многими музыкантами.

Recorded at the tail end of 1962 and originally issued in 1963, Monk's Dream is Thelonious Monk's debut for Columbia Records after releases for Blue Note, Prestige and Riverside. Working with producer Teo Macero and featured in a quartet setting with Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), John Ore (bass), and Frankie Dunlop, (drums), Monk's Dream was the best selling LP of Monk's lifetime, ultimately contributing to his appearance on the cover of Time magazine in 1964.

The 8-song set features five Monk originals including the rhythmically complex "Five Spot Blues" and "Bolivar Blues," as well as a pair of solo sides sans accompaniment in "Just A Gigolo" and "Body and Soul." Although a majority of the tracks had been previously recorded in various live settings with different titles, this quartet is regarded by many as one of the best groups Monk was ever associated with and it is their studio interpretations of the material that remain the definitive versions and add up to one of Monk's signature albums!
