Thelonious Monk – "This is My Story, This is My Song"

Mar 8, 11:07am 1146 miles
Thelonious Monk – "This is My Story, This is My Song" It's impossible to overestimate the importance of Thelonious Monk. Though it is just my opinion, I consider him the most important jazz composer and father of modern jazz. I've talked a lot about players who have been inspired by Monk here, but I've never featured him before. And today, I'm still not featuring one of his compositions. Everything he wrote is wonderful. But instead, I'm giving you his performance of an old Christian hymn, "This is My Story, This is My Song," from his 1967 Straight, No Chaser . Rather than displaying his unique songwriting and creative [...]

High Priest of Bop - Thelonious Monk

Feb 14, 11:04am SqueezeMyLemon
THELONIOUS MONK - Blue Monk
The standard jazz repertoire would be much the weaker without Thelonius Monks' input which include "Epistrophy", "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser" and "Well, You Needn't" . He is truely a giant in any American genre and 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.Truly a delight

"Captain Awesome, Need Awesome Intro to Jazz 101!"

Jan 11, 8:52am Indiecision
"Captain Awesome, Need Awesome Intro to Jazz 101!" Dear Captain Awesome, I'm writing you this email because my ears are exhausted from listening to new age music and I would like you to help me discover new genres of music (Well, new for me and I suppose, old for the world). As a child I've been exposed to Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong and I've been singing standard songs like 'Funny Valentine' and 'Summertime' ever since I could remember, but I haven't really taken the time to make jazz music my own. Actually, I haven't even taken the time to acquaint myself with [...]

Thelonious Monk Documentary, "Straight, No Chaser"

Oct 31, 2011, 9:50am The Sly Oyster
Thelonious Monk Documentary: Straight, No Chaser (FULL)
Do you have an hour and a half to spare? You should, especially if you enjoy the music of Thelonious Monk, jazz or documentaries on musicians. The story behind 'Straight, No Chaser' began in West Germany in 1967 and ended more than two decades later in Kansas City, Hollywood and New York. It had its beginnings in 1967, when the film-maker Michael Blackwood was commissioned by West German Television to make a film about Thelonious Monk. Over a six-month period of time that stretched into 1968, Michael and his brother Christian Blackwood, acting as cinematographer and [...]

gathering fuel in ancient lots

Oct 23, 2011, 9:04pm Asleep on the compost heap
gathering fuel in ancient lots So the Stone Roses, eh? I feel ambivalent about their reunion, mostly because my relationship with them, different to any other favourite band I've had down the years, depends on a solitary physical object - their debut album. That album, to my mind, is the Stone Roses. It is all they ever meant to me, and ever will. It's a fetishistic object for me, a cassette bought at a young age, worn to death, played over and over. Second Coming never meant jack shit. Also any live performances I've seen on TV looked underwhelming. But the album, well it has [...]

Thelonious Monk: Monk’s Music

Jul 8, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
Thelonious Monk: Monk’s Music No matter how many times it gets reissued, a great album is still a great album. Monk's Music will never sound anything short of terrific. Miles Davis, Kind of Blue. John Coltrane, Blue Train. Charles Mingus, Mingus Ah Um. Dave Brubeck, Time Out. These are the kinds of albums that represent a safe purchase for people who aren't too terribly into jazz. Not only are they good starting points to get into these artists' careers, they're also just great on their own. The contradiction of palatable high art is a big reason why they have such staying [...]
