5 by Monk by 5 was deliberately conceived and executed as a quintet album. The "five" are made up of what was, at the time of the 1959 sessions, Monk's regular working quartet plus Thad Jones. That is to say, a well-integrated unit with a striking added voice absorbed into it. The album consists of two new Monk compositions and reworkings of three earlier numbers.
