Thelonious Monk

"I say play your own way. Don’t play what the
public wants....you play what you want and let the public pick up on what
you are doing, even if it does take them 15, 20 years."
—Thelonious Monk "As a composer, Thelonious Monk defied the established concepts of rhythm, chord voicing, and melody to create distinctive compositions within the confines of blues and popular-song forms. He stripped his music to the core. He employed long silences, precise rhythmic themes, wide intervallic jumps, and startling bursts of dissonance in his music; his sardonic wit was legendary." —Len Lyons, writer "Monk remains one of the insatiably, irrepressibly and valuable individual jazzmen of our era." —Nat Hentoff, writer |
