THELONIOUSMONK

Jazz1940s–1970s

About

Thelonious Sphere Monk is one of the most original composers in jazz, known for his jagged, angular phrasing and deliberate dissonances that seemed wrong until they were obviously right. He wrote over 70 compositions that remain core jazz standards. His recording sessions for Blue Note and Riverside are essential listening for anyone learning jazz harmony.
