Thelonious Monk Vinyl Records

Thelonious Monk was a jazz pianist and composer who was one of the pioneers of bebop. He was born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina in 1917 and moved to New York City in the late 1930s. Monk is renowned for his distinctively off-kilter playing style and his unorthodox approach to jazz.

His most iconic albums include Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington (1955), Brilliant Corners (1956), and Underground (1968). Some of his most popular songs include “Round Midnight”, “Epistrophy”, “Blue Monk”, and “Well, You Needn’t”.

An interesting fact about Thelonious Monk is that he was the first jazz musician to be featured on the cover of Time magazine.
