Thelonious Monk | Genius Of Modern Music Volume 2 | LP

Thelonious Monk was an American jazz pianist and composer, born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in 1917 and died in Weehawken, New Jersey, in 1982. He is often regarded as one of the founders of bebop, and his compositions and improvisations are full of dissonant harmonies and angular melodic twists. His piano style combines a highly percussive attack with abrupt use of silence and dramatic pauses.

Genius Of Modern Music Volume 2 is a 1 LP album by Thelonious Monk, released by Rat Pack Records on 20 September 2024. It is a limited edition unofficial release issued in France and is classed as bop.
