Thelonious Monk on Jazz Profiles
(April 9-10)
[NPR Now/106]
The sound of Thelonious Monk is one of the most recognizable in modern jazz. By the “plunk" or “thunk" of a single chord, his piano and compositions are unmistakable. An original on and off the bandstand, he was the launch pad of bebop who also created a body of work in its own orbit. This show celebrates Monk's lasting contributions with help from his collaborators and admirers including drummer Max Roach, producer Orrin Keepnews, and writer Stanley Crouch. It airs this Friday at 11 p.m. ET, repeated on Saturday at 9 p.m. ET.
