Thelonious Monk

Before Thelonious Monk, there were right and wrong notes. But since the genius North Carolina piano player Thelonious Monk started recording in the late forties, he has proved that there only are the notes you want to hear and the ones you don’t. But dissonance and unexpected notes can bring life and excitement to a jazz piece, as shown in his legendary Ruby My Dear or his wild version of Body And Soul.
