This first full-length biography of the legendary pianist/composer in English tells the story of the tragic life and creative genius of Thelonius Monk. Based on scores of interviews with his family, friends and compatriots, along with voluminous research, this book gives the reader insight into the elusive and often eccentric personality of the composer. It paints a vivid picture of the difficulties faced by a serious jazz performer in the 50’s and 60’s who had to battle to overcome racism to make his mark as a musician. Beautifully illustrated with rare photos.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 1st edition, 2nd printing. Pristine, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "Leslie Gourse has splendidly told the astonishing and thoroughly American story of a towering figure in the pantheon of our nation's artists. Based on her original research, interviews with Monk's family, friends and associates, and a wide variety of secondary materials, Gourse's impressive achievement will long serve as an essential source for future biographers."---W. Royal Stokes. "Percy Heath, the bassist in the Modern Jazz Quartet, had been in New York for only about six years in 1954 when he recorded with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk for the Prestige label. It thrilled Heath to be with 'all those great cats,' he remarked. "My mother used to call Monk 'the onliest.' She got mixed up with his name Thelonious. I told her he sure was 'the onliest.'".
