Listen "Thelonious Monk 1"
Episode Synopsis
WKCR presents annual marathon broadcasts to celebrate the October 10 birthday anniversary of Thelonious Monk.
From the 2023 edition, here's 205 minutes of a segment I presented. Begins with a potpourri of Monk's music, first some live performances, next piano music, featuring selections from, among other recordings, the French Vogue session, the Duke Ellington album, and the "The Unique Thelonious Monk". The final 123 minutes includes a survey of a less-famous aspect of Monk's career, his recordings for the Prestige label.
