Thelonious Monk: Brilliant Corners & Monk 'Round the World
by Riel Lazarus
The path by which legendary pianist and composer Thelonious Monk rose to infamy was a long and trying one.

That Grand Dan Sound: Why Everyone Knows Steely Dan When They Hear Them
by Eric Pettine

Once Monk hopped to Riverside after a brief stint at Prestige, producer ...
Thelonious Monk: Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington
by C. Michael Bailey
I listen to a great deal of music. Categorically, I can say there are really only two types'good and better.

More often than not, older recordings that ...
