All About Jazz announces a new regular column, Old, New, Borrowed and Blue.
AAJ Contributor Dan Bilawsky examines jazz from four angles, just as brides-to-be look for something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
For his first installment, Dan looks at the music of iconic pianist/composer Thelonious Monk. Whether it's Monk's own recordings, fresh interpretations by guitarists, other artists incorporating signature elements of Monk's compositional style, or songs like “Blue Monk," there's no question that Monk's reach continues to be felt nearly thirty years after his passing in 1982.
Check out Four In One: Monk From Four Different Angles, Dan Bilawsky's first installment of Old, New Borrowed and Blue, at AAJ today!
