Review by Pauline Adair

Blue Monk: The Music of Thelonious Monk is an exceptional album that showcases the genius of the legendary jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. The album features a collection of some of Monk's most popular compositions, including "Blue Monk," "Round Midnight," and "Straight, No Chaser."

The album begins with the upbeat and catchy "Blue Monk," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Monk's unique style of playing the piano is evident throughout the album, with his unconventional chord progressions and rhythmic patterns.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Round Midnight," which is considered one of Monk's greatest compositions. The haunting melody and beautiful harmonies create a sense of melancholy, and Monk's solo is filled with emotion and depth.

Another highlight of the album is "Straight, No Chaser," which is a fast-paced and energetic tune that showcases Monk's virtuosity on the piano. The rhythm section, consisting of bassist Charlie Rouse and drummer Frankie Dunlop, provides a solid foundation for Monk's improvisations.

American jazz pianist and composer. Born: 10 October 1917 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, USA. Died: 17 February 1982 in Weehawken, New Jersey, USA (aged 64). One of the most influential pianists of the twentieth century, Thelonious Monk had a idiosyncratic improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire. He is often regarded as one of the founders of bebop. Monk's prolific compositions and improvisations are full of dissonant harmonies and angular melodic twists. His unorthodox approach to the piano combines a highly percussive attack with abrupt, use of silence and dramatic pauses. He was also known for a distinct fashion sense in his suits, hats and trademark sunglasses. Monk was an unconventional stage presence, known for getting up from his piano to dance (sometimes in a counter-clockwise motion which drew comparisons to ring-shout and Muslim Sufi whirling) while his band members were still playing. Monk is one of only five jazz musicians to date to be featured on the cover of Time magazine, which puts him in a select company with , , , and . Father of and .
