The most important jazz musicians are the ones who are successful in creating their own original worof 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 ofMonk'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 Monkgrew 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. Johnsonwas a neighbor) and vestiges of that idiom can be heard in his later unaccompani

solos. However, when he was playing in the house band of Minton's Playhouse during 1940-1943,

Monkwas searching for his own individual style. Private recordings from the period find him

sometimes resembling Teddy Wilsonbut starting to use more advanced rhythms and harmonies. He

worked with Lucky Millinder a bit in 1942 and was with the Cootie Williams Orchestra briefly in 1944(Williams recorded Monk's "Epistrophy" in 1942 and in 1944 was the first to record "'Round

Midnight"), but it was when he became Coleman Hawkins' regular pianist that Monkwas initially

noticed. He cut a few titles with Hawkins (his recording debut) and, although some ofHawkins' fans

complained about the eccentric pianist, the veteran tenor could sense the pianist's greatness.

The 1945-1954 period was very difficult for Thelonious Monk. Because he left a lot of space in his

rhythmic solos and had an unusual technique, many people thought that he was an inferior pianist. H

compositions were so advanced that the lazier bebop players (although not Dizzy Gillespie and Charli

Parker) assumed that he was crazy. And Thelonious Monk's name, appearance (he liked funny hats),

and personality (an occasionally uncommunicative introvert) helped to brand him as some kind of nu

Fortunately,Alfred Lionof Blue Note believed in him and recorded Monkextensively during 1947-194

and 1951-1952. He also recorded for Prestige during 1952-1954, had a solo set for Vogue in 1954 duri

a visit to Paris, and appeared on a Verve date with Bird and Diz. But work was very sporadic during

this era and Monkhad to struggle to make ends meet.

His fortunes slowly began to improve. In 1955, he signed with

Riverside and producer Orrin Keepnewspersuaded him to record an

album ofDuke Ellingtontunes and one of standards so his music

would appear to be more accessible to the average jazz fan. In 1956

came the classic Brilliant Corners album, but it was the following yea

when the situation permanently changed. Monkwas booked into the

Five Spot for a long engagement and he used a quartet that featured

tenor saxophonist John Coltrane. Finally, the critics and then the ja

public recognized Thelonious Monk's greatness during this importan

gig. The fact that he was unique was a disadvantage a few years earli

when all modern jazz pianists were expected to sound like Bud Powell(who was ironically a close

friend), but by 1957 the jazz public was looking for a new approach. Suddenly, Monkwas a celebrity

and his status would not change for the remainder of his career. In 1958, his quartet featured the teno

ofJohnny Griffin(who was even more compatible than Coltrane), in 1959 he appeared with an

orchestra at Town Hall (with arrangements byHall Overton), in 1962 he signed with Columbia and tw

years later was on the cover of Time. A second orchestra concert in 1963 was even better than the firs

and Monktoured constantly throughout the 1960s with his quartet which featured the reliable tenor o

Monkwas suffering from mental illness and, other than a few special appearances during the mid-'70

he lived the rest of his life in seclusion. After his death it seemed as if everyone was doing Thelonious

Monktributes. There were so many versions of "'Round Midnight" that it was practically a pop hit! Bu

Flanagan to recreate his style, there was no replacement for the original.

Some ofThelonious Monk's songs became standards early on, most notably "'Round Midnight,"

"Straight No Chaser," "52nd Street Theme," and "Blue Monk." Many of his other compositions have by

now been figured out by other jazz musicians and are occasionally performed including "Ruby My

Dear," "Well You Needn't," "Off Minor," "In Walked Bud," "Misterioso," "Epistrophy," "I Mean You,"

"Four in One," "Criss Cross," "Ask Me Now," "Little Rootie Tootie," "Monk's Dream," "Bemsha Swing,

"Think of One," "Friday the 13th," "Hackensack," "Nutty," "Brilliant Corners," "Crepuscule With Nellie

(written for his strong and supportive wife), "Evidence," and "Rhythm-a-Ning," Virtually all of Monk'

recordings (for Blue Note, Prestige, Vogue, Riverside, Columbia, and Black Lion) have been reissued

and among his sidemen through the years were Idrees Sulieman,Art Blakey, Milt Jackson, LouDonaldson, Lucky Thompson, Max Roach, Julius Watkins,Sonny Rollins,Clark Terry, Gerry Mulliga

John Coltrane,Wilbur Ware, Shadow Wilson, Johnny Griffin, Donald Byrd, Phil Woods,Thad Jones

and Charlie Rouse. His son Thelonious Monk, Jr. (T.S. Monk) has helped keep the hard bop tradition

alive with his quintet and has headed the Thelonious Monk Institute, whose yearly competitions

succeed in publicizing talented young players.
