Today's post celebrates Thelonious Monk, the great and eccentric jazz pianist, who died 40 years ago yesterday.
In The Genius of Monk, David Katznelson contacted several musicians, producers, and journalists to get their picks for their favourite of Monk's recordings. Like the musician himself, it's an eclectic list. Most of the picks are linked to Spotify so you can listen and judge for yourself.
Just at random, I picked this one which is a pretty representative sample of Monk's genius.
