THELONIOUS MONK is the critically acclaimed, gripping saga of an artist�s struggle to �make it� without compromising his musical vision. It is a story that, like its subject, reflects the tidal ebbs and flows of American history in the twentieth century. To his fans, he was the ultimate hipster; to his detractors, he was temperamental, eccentric, taciturn, or childlike. His angular melodies and dissonant harmonies shook the jazz world to its foundations, ushering in the birth of �bebop� and establishing Monk as one of America�s greatest com�posers. Elegantly written and rich with humor and pathos, Thelonious Monk is the definitive work on modern jazz�s most original composer.
