Underground is the seventh studio album that Monk did for Columbia and features Larry Gales on bass, Ben Riley on drums and
Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone.
A prolific composer, all but one of the tunes on this record are original compositions, all with different stories.
Apart from the music, the cover is worth a special mention. It depicts Monk as a member of the French Resistance and is meant as an homage to Pannonica "Nica" de Koenigswarter. She was a member of the aristocratic Rothschild family and became a patron of leading jazz musicians, hosting jam sessions, driving them to gigs and sometimes even help out with paying the rent. In 1969, the cover won a Grammy for Best Recording Package.
