Thelonious Monk Discography and Thelonious Monk Biography
Thelonious Monk Biography
The most important jazz musicians are the ones who are
successful in creating their own original world of music
with its own rules, logic, and surprises. Thelonious Monk,
who was criticized by observers who failed to listen to his
music on its own terms, suffered through a decade of neglect
before he was suddenly acclaimed as a genius; his music had
not changed one bit in the interim. In fact, one of the more
remarkable aspects of Monk's music was that it was fully
formed by 1947 and he saw no need to alter his playing or
compositional style in the slightest during the next 25
years.
Thelonious Monk grew up in New York, started playing piano
when he was around five, and had his first job touring as an
accompanist to an evangelist. He was inspired by the Harlem
stride pianists (James
P. Johnson was a neighbor) and vestiges of that idiom
can be heard in his later unaccompanied solos. HoWever, when
he was playing in the house band of Minton's Playhouse
during 1940-1943 |
