#AmericanJazz – Thelonious Monk
Thelonious Monk, one of the most inventive pianists of any musical genre, helped usher in the bebop revolution in the 1940s.
Did you know that he is the second most recorded jazz composer of all time? Monk is known as having one of the most recognizable sounds in jazz - from the late 1940’s through the 1960’s, Monk created incredibly innovative music, including “bebop” or “bop” which is a style of jazz characterized by a fast tempo, complex chord progressions, rapid cord and key changes, instrumental virtuosity and improvisation based on a combination of harmonic structure, the use of scales and occasional references to the melody.
