Thelonious Monk: Quirky for a Family Man
Quirky and original are good descriptions of Thelonious Monk, who is one of the all-time greatest composers, pianist, bandleaders, and improvisers in modern music.
It wasn’t only his style of dress with his beanies, cravats, and goatee, nor his way of standing up and spinning around dancing while enjoying his band during their finer moments, but these things along with his music makes him one of the most unique human beings that walked the planet.
