About

helonious Sphere Monk was an American jazz pianist and composer; considered one of the most important musicians in jazz. Monk had a unique playing style. He was famous for his improvisations of few but well‑chosen notes. Precise, he could do with two or three notes what other pianists did with nine or ten. Eccentric, Thelonious was not highly regarded by the critics of the time, but he was a unanimous favorite among jazz musicians. He composed melodies and created unusual rhythms. He wrote several tunes that are now considered standards, such as "Epistrophy", "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight No Chaser" and "Well, You Needn't".

Although remembered as one of the founders of bebop, his style, over time, evolved into something unique and personal: compositions with dissonant harmonies and melodic turns combined with percussive lines developed through abrupt attacks on the piano and the use of silences and hesitations.
