Thelonious Sphere Monk
(October 10, 1917 – February 17, 1982) was an American jazz pianist and composer considered one of the giants of
American music. Monk had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire,
including "Epistrophy", "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser" and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the
second-most recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington, which is particularly remarkable as Ellington composed over
1,000 songs while Monk wrote about 70.

His compositions and improvisations are full of dissonant harmonies
and angular melodic twists, and are consistent with Monk's unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly
percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of silences and hesitations. This was not a style universally appreciated;
poet and jazz critic Philip Larkin dismissed Monk as 'the elephant on the keyboard'.

Monk's manner was
idiosyncratic. Visually, he was renowned for his distinctive style in suits, hats and sunglasses. He was also noted for
the fact that at times, while the other musicians in the band continued playing, he would stop, stand up from the
keyboard and dance for a few moments before returning to the piano.

He is one of five jazz musicians to have
been featured on the cover of Time (the other four being Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Wynton Marsalis, and Dave
Brubeck) as of 2010.


Early life

Thelonious Monk was born October 10, 1917, in Rocky Mount,
North Carolina, the son of Thelonious and Barbara Monk, two years after his sister Marion. A brother, Thomas, was born
in January 1920. In 1922, the family moved to 243 West 63rd Street, in Manhattan, New York City. Monk started playing
the piano at the age of six. Although he had some formal training and eavesdropped on his sister's piano lessons, he was
largely self-taught. Monk attended Stuyvesant High School, but did not graduate. He toured with an evangelist in his
teens, playing the church organ, and in his late teens he began to find work playing jazz.

In the early to
mid 1940s, Monk was the house pianist at Minton's Playhouse, a Manhattan nightclub. Much of Monk's style was developed
during his time at Minton's, when he participated in after-hours "cutting competitions" which featured many leading jazz
soloists of the time. The Minton's scene was crucial in the formulation of bebop and it brought Monk into close contact
with other leading exponents of the emerging idiom, including Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Christian, Kenny Clarke, Charlie
Parker and later, Miles Davis. Monk is believed to be the pianist featured on recordings Jerry Newman made around 1941
at the club. Monk's style at this time was later described as "hard-swinging," with the addition of runs in the style of
Art Tatum. Monk's stated influences included Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson, and other early stride pianists. In the
documentary Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser, it is stated that Monk lived in the same neighborhood in New York City
as Johnson and knew him as a teenager.

Mary Lou Williams, among others, spoke of Monk's rich inventiveness in
this period, and how such invention was vital for musicians since at the time it was common for fellow musicians to
incorporate overheard musical ideas into their own works without giving due credit. "So, the boppers worked out a music
that was hard to steal. I'll say this for the `leeches', though: they tried. I've seen them in Minton's busily writing
on their shirt cuffs or scribbling on the tablecloth. And even our own guys, I'm afraid, did not give Monk the credit he
had coming. Why, they even stole his idea of the beret and bop glasses."

Early recordings
(1944–1954)

In 1944 Monk made his first studio recordings with the Coleman Hawkins Quartet. Hawkins
was among the first prominent jazz musicians to promote Monk, and Monk later returned the favor by inviting Hawkins to
join him on the 1957 session with John Coltrane. Monk made his first recordings as leader for Blue Note in 1947 (later
anthologised on Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 1) which showcased his talents as a composer of original melodies for
improvisation. Monk married Nellie Smith the same year, and in 1949 the couple had a son, T. S. Monk, who is a jazz
drummer. A daughter, Barbara (affectionately known as Boo-Boo), was born in 1953.

In August 1951, New York
City police searched a parked car occupied by Monk and friend Bud Powell. The police found narcotics in the car,
presumed to have belonged to Powell. Monk refused to testify against his friend, so the police confiscated his New York
City Cabaret Card. Without the all-important cabaret card he was unable to play in any New York venue where liquor was
served, and this severely restricted his ability to perform for several crucial years. Monk spent most of the early and
mid-1950s composing, recording, and performing at theaters and out-of-town gigs.

After his cycle of
intermittent recording sessions for Blue Note during 1947–1952, he was under contract to Prestige Records for the
following two years. With Prestige he cut several highly significant, but at the time under-recognized, albums,
including collaborations with saxophonist Sonny Rollins and drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach. In 1954, Monk
participated in a Christmas Eve session which produced most of the albums Bags' Groove and Miles Davis and the Modern
Jazz Giants by Miles Davis. Davis found Monk's idiosyncratic accompaniment style difficult to improvise over and asked
him to lay out (not accompany), which almost brought them to blows. However, in Miles Davis' autobiography Miles, Davis
claims that the anger and tension between Monk and himself never took place and that the claims of blows being exchanged
were "rumors" and a "misunderstanding".

In 1954, Monk paid his first visit to Europe, performing and
recording in Paris. Backstage Mary Lou Williams introduced him to Baroness Pannonica "Nica" de Koenigswarter, a member
of the Rothschild family and a patroness of several New York City jazz musicians. She would be a close friend for the
rest of Monk's life, including taking responsibility for him when she and Monk were charged with marijuana
possession.

Riverside Records (1955–1961)
	

At the time of his signing to Riverside,
Monk was highly regarded by his peers and by some critics, but his records did not sell in significant numbers, and his
music was still regarded as too "difficult" for mass-market acceptance. Indeed, with Monk's consent, Riverside had
managed to buy out his previous Prestige contract for a mere $108.24. He willingly recorded two albums of jazz standards
as a means of increasing his profile. The first of these, Thelonious Monk Plays the Music of Duke Ellington, featuring
bass innovator Oscar Pettiford and drummer Kenny Clarke, included Ellington pieces "Caravan" and "It Don't Mean A Thing
(If It Ain't Got That Swing)".

On the 1956 LP Brilliant Corners, Monk recorded his own music. The complex
title track, which featured tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins, was so difficult to play that the final version had to be
edited together from multiple takes. The album, however, was largely regarded as the first success for Monk; according
to Orrin Keepnews, "It was the first that made a real splash."[citation needed]

After having his cabaret card
restored, Monk relaunched his New York career with a landmark six-month residency at the Five Spot Cafe in New York
beginning in June 1957, leading a quartet with John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Wilbur Ware on bass, and Shadow Wilson
on drums. Unfortunately little of this group's music was documented due to contractual problems, Coltrane being signed
to Prestige at the time. One short studio session was made for Riverside (only released later by its subsidiary Jazzland
in 1961) and a larger group recording featuring Coltrane was split between that album and Monk's Music; an amateur tape
from the Five Spot (not the original residency, but a later September 1958 reunion with Coltrane sitting in for Johnny
Griffin) was issued on Blue Note in 1993; and a recording of the quartet performing at a Carnegie Hall concert on
November 29, previously "rumoured to exist", was recorded in high fidelity by Voice of America, rediscovered in the
collection of the Library of Congress in 2005 and released by Blue Note.

"Crepuscule With Nellie", recorded
in 1957, "was Monk's only, what's called through-composed composition, meaning that there is no improvising. It is
Monk's concerto, if you will, and in some ways it speaks for itself. But he wrote it very, very carefully and very
deliberately and really struggled to make it sound the way it sounds. [... I]t was his love song for Nellie," said
biographer Kelley in an interview.

The Five Spot residency ended Christmas 1957, Coltrane left to rejoin
Miles Davis's seminal sextet, and the band was effectively disbanded. Monk did not form another long-term band until
June 1958, when he began a second residency at the Five Spot, again with a quartet, this time with Griffin (and later
Charlie Rouse) on tenor, Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums.

On October 15, 1958, the
residency having ended and en route to a week-long engagement for the quartet at the Comedy Club in Baltimore, Maryland,
Monk and de Koenigswarter were detained by police in Wilmington, Delaware. When Monk refused to answer the policemen's
questions or cooperate with them, they beat him with a blackjack. Though the police were authorized to search the
vehicle and found narcotics in suitcases held in the trunk of the Baroness's car, Judge Christie of the Delaware
Superior Court ruled that the unlawful detention of the pair, and the beating of Monk, rendered the consent to the
search void as given under duress. Monk was represented by Theophilus Nix, the second African-American member of the
Delaware Bar Association.

Columbia Records (1962–1970)

After extended negotiations, Monk
signed in 1962 to Columbia Records, one of the big four American record labels of the day along with RCA Victor,
Capitol, and Decca. Monk's relationship with Riverside had soured over disagreements concerning royalty payments and had
concluded with a brace of European live albums; he had not recorded a studio album since 5 by Monk by 5 in June 1959.

Working with producer Teo Macero on his debut for the label, the sessions in the first week of November had a
stable line-up that had been with him for two years: tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse (who worked with Monk from 1959 to
1970), bassist John Ore, and drummer Frankie Dunlop. Monk's Dream, his earliest Columbia album, was released in 1963.

Columbia's resources allowed Monk to be promoted more widely than earlier in his career. Monk's Dream would
become the best-selling LP of his lifetime, and on February 28, 1964, he appeared on the cover of Time magazine, being
featured in the article "The Loneliest Monk". He continued to record a number of well-reviewed studio albums,
particularly Criss Cross, also from 1963, and Underground, from 1968. But by the Columbia years his compositional output
was limited, and only his final Columbia studio record Underground featured a substantial number of new tunes, including
his only waltz time piece, "Ugly Beauty".

As had been the case with Riverside, his period with Columbia
Records contains many live albums, including Miles and Monk at Newport (1963), Live at the It Club and Live at the Jazz
Workshop, both recorded in 1964, the latter not being released until 1982. After the departure of Ore and Dunlop, the
remainder of the rhythm section in Monk's quartet during the bulk of his Columbia period was Larry Gales on bass and Ben
Riley on drums, both of whom joined in 1964, Along with Rouse, they remained with Monk for over four years, his
longest-serving band.

According to biographer Kelley, the 1964 Time appearance came because "Barry Farrell,
who wrote the cover story, wanted to write about a jazz musician and almost by default Monk was chosen, because they
thought Ray Charles and Miles Davis were too controversial. ... [Monk] wasn't so political. [...O]f course, I challenge
that [in the biography]," said Kelley.

Later life

Monk had disappeared from the scene by the
mid-1970s, and made only a small number of appearances during the final decade of his life. His last studio recordings
as a leader were made in November 1971 for the English Black Lion label, near the end of a worldwide tour with "The
Giants of Jazz," a group which included Dizzy Gillespie, Kai Winding, Sonny Stitt, Al McKibbon and Art Blakey. Bassist
Al McKibbon, who had known Monk for over twenty years and played on his final tour in 1971, later said: "On that tour
Monk said about two words. I mean literally maybe two words. He didn't say 'Good morning', 'Goodnight', 'What time?'
Nothing. Why, I don't know. He sent word back after the tour was over that the reason he couldn't communicate or play
was that Art Blakey and I were so ugly." A different side of Monk is revealed in Lewis Porter's biography, John
Coltrane: His Life and Music; Coltrane states: "Monk is exactly the opposite of Miles [Davis]: he talks about music all
the time, and he wants so much for you to understand that if, by chance, you ask him something, he'll spend hours if
necessary to explain it to you."

The documentary film Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser (1988) attributes
Monk's quirky behaviour to mental illness. In the film, Monk's son, T. S. Monk, says that his father sometimes did not
recognize him, and he reports that Monk was hospitalized on several occasions due to an unspecified mental illness that
worsened in the late 1960s. No reports or diagnoses were ever publicized, but Monk would often become excited for two or
three days, pace for days after that, after which he would withdraw and stop speaking. Physicians recommended
electroconvulsive therapy as a treatment option for Monk's illness, but his family would not allow it; antipsychotics
and lithium were prescribed instead. Other theories abound: Leslie Gourse, author of the book Straight, No Chaser: The
Life and Genius of Thelonious Monk (1997), reported that at least one of Monk's psychiatrists failed to find evidence of
manic depression or schizophrenia. Another physician maintains that Monk was misdiagnosed and prescribed drugs during
his hospital stay that may have caused brain damage.

As his health declined, Monk's last six years were spent
as a guest in the New Jersey home of his long-standing patron and friend, Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter, who had
also nursed Charlie Parker during his final illness. Monk did not play the piano during this time, even though one was
present in his room, and he spoke to few visitors. He died of a stroke on February 17, 1982, and was buried in Ferncliff
Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. In 1993, he was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and in
2006, Monk was posthumously awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation.

Art Blakey reports that Monk was
excellent at both chess and checkers (draughts).

Tributes

Soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy performed
as Monk's accompanist in 1960. Monk's tunes became a permanent part of his repertoire in concert and on albums. Lacy
released several albums entirely focused on Monk's compositions including Reflections, School Days, Epistrophy, Eronel,
Only Monk, and More Monk.

Gunther Schuller wrote the work "Variants on a Theme of Thelonious Monk" in 1960.
It was later performed and recorded by other artists, including Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, and Bill Evans.

Stevie Wonder wrote the song "Thelonious" which appears on Jeff Beck's 1975 album Blow by Blow.

In 1983,
saxophonist Arthur Blythe's album Light Blue: Arthur Blythe Plays Thelonious Monk was released by Columbia Records.

Anthony Braxton recorded Six Monk's Compositions (1987) in 1987, and pianist Ran Blake recorded Epistrophy in
1991.

Record producer J Dilla produced the hip hop track "Thelonious" on rapper Common's album Like Water For
Chocolate dedicated to Monk's music and memory and the influence of jazz on the underground hip hop community.

Round Midnight Variations is a collection of variations on the song "'Round Midnight" premiered in 2002. Composers
contributing included Roberto Andreoni, Milton Babbitt, Alberto Barbero, Carlo Boccadoro, William Bolcom, David Crumb.
George Crumb, Michael Daugherty, Filippo Del Corno, John Harbison, Joel Hoffman, Aaron Jay Kernis, Gerald Levinson,
Tobias Picker, Matthew Quayle, Frederic Rzewski, Augusta Read Thomas and Michael Torke.
