Listen "Thelonious Monk 2"
Episode Synopsis
WKCR presents annual marathon broadcasts to celebrate the October 10 birthday anniversary of Thelonious Monk.
Here's my segment form the 2024 edition. It begins with selections from Monk's appearances as a "sideman" on sessions with Clark Terry, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, and Sonny Rollins. Next is a lengthy survey of Monk's recordings for the Blue Note label from 1947-1952, his first record contract and an opportunity to proudly display the initial conceptions of his now legendary original compositions.
