Biography

Edit

It took years for Thelonious Monk to find an audience beyond a devoted circle of the most creative musicians, but today no jazz composer ranks higher than Monk. His angular, dissonant, and percussive piano style, once dismissed as merely eccentric, is recognized as a brilliant transformation of earlier stride techniques and a fountain of rhythmic and harmonic creativity.
