Biography

As influential as he proved to be during the final decades of his lifetime, it appears that Thelonious Sphere Monk (1917-82) has only gained greater stature in the years since his death. Once considered too eccentric and complex to be appreciated by listeners and other musicians, Monk has become a standard of excellence, as both composer and soloist, for those who seek to extend the jazz tradition… Read more in Amazon's Thelonious Monk Store

5.0 out of 5 stars All great Monk but..., September 15, 2004
This review is from: Best of Thelonious Monk (Audio CD)
I wouldn't necessarily have picked these songs as Monk's best. However they are all great songs. Don't get a greatest hits album if you are at all interested in possibly exploring Monk further. Go get Brilliant Corners or any other "famous" Monk album. There are no bad songs on all of his top ten or so albums so you won't go wrong.
