Condition: Gut. 2nd edition. 340 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Thelonious Monk is one of jazz's legendary figures, whose life story is shrouded in mystery. In the house trio at Harlem's hip, renowned Minton's Playhouse, he, along with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and drummer Kenny Clarke-and sometimes saxophonist Charlie Parker-helped mold the nascent style of bebop. Monk's compositions 'Round Midnight; Straight, No Chaser; Blue Monk; Misterioso; Rhythm-a-ning; anct scores more have become classics in thejazz repertoire. Monk's piano playing was so original that it has been widely emulated and praised, but never equaled. His personal life was also unique, including battles with mental and neurological conditions that finally led to his total, tragic withdrawal from recording and performing years before his death. Born in North Carolina in 1917, Thelonious Monk moved as a child with his mother, sister, and brother to New York City. After working as a pianist for a traveling preacher, Monk returned to his family apartment on New York's West Side, where he would live for most of his life. In the late 40s, he became "house pianist" at Minton's Playhouse, a small, Harlem-based club that would become famous as the birthplace of bebop. Befriending pianists like Mary Lou Williams, Bud Powell, and Elmo Hope, Monk explored the piano's capacities, inventing new harmonic voicings, rhythmic nuances, and bold, beautiful melodies to establish his signature style. He recorded for the Blue Note, Prestige, and Riverside labels in the '40s and 50s, creating, both as a soloist and a leader of small groups, fresh works that became jazz classics for his era-and for all time. In the late '50s, thanks to the enlightened management of Harry Colomby, Monk became a favorite performer on the Greenwich Village scene, making the Five Spot Cafe world-famous. Signed to Columbia Records in the '60s, he became even better known for his eccentric stage personality and his powerful performances and compositions. Sadly, though, Monk was already showing signs of unusual behavior, even in the 1950s, in part because of his drug and alcohol abuse, and, most likely, because of an underlying psychological condition. Whatever the causes of his eccentricities early in his career, by 1976, Monk had withdrawn completely from music-making and spent his days secluded in the home of his benefactress in New Jersey. One of the most creative voices in jazz was silenced. He died in 1982. ISBN 9780028646565 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Originalhardcover mit Schutzumschlag.
