"Of all the major jazz artists, Thelonious Monk was one of the most original musical thinkers--nonconformist, idiosyncratic, imaginative, eccentric--in a word, unique. In THE THELONIOUS MONK READER, Rob van der Bliek has brought together some of the most revealing pieces ever written on Monk, providing a full portrait of the musician and his impact on the jazz world. [] Here is a wealth of information that was previously scattered and difficult to locate, including a wide range of articles, profiles, reviews, interviews, liner notes, and music analyses. Ranging in date from 1947 to 1999, these 39 pieces feature the work of some of our best jazz critics, including Leonard Feather, Ira Gitler, Nat Hentoff, Andre Hodeir, Gunther Schuller, Martin Williams, and many others. The book spans Monk's childhood and early recordings with Blue Note and Prestige, his Riverside period and the critical recognition that followed the release of Brilliant Corners, and his fame and fortune during his Columbia years. Readers will find colorful descriptions of Monk's eccentric lifestyle as well as thoughtful commentary on his unorthodox piano technique, which was marked by off-center accents and idiosyncratic voicings, broken rhythms, alternately dense and stripped down chords, and creative use of silence. [] Rob van der Bliek also provides a general introduction and brief introductions to each piece as well as critical annotations that place the work in context. Controversial, often contradictory, and always engaging, these readings offer a complete view of the man, his music, and his time." [jacket copy] "A fascinating compendium of rare and significant reportage and commentary on a complex, enduring visionary of modern music, including his most notable interviews. The 39 essays here astutely assembled and informatively annotated by Rob van der Bliek add up to a fuller portrait of Monk than any single biography so far. Monk, as well as curious listeners and readers benefit--his music inspires vivid writing."--Howard Mandel. "This book is so good it seems hard to imagine that a full-scale biography could add much, since, of necessity, it would be borrowing largely from the material here. THE THELONIOUS MONK READER doesn't miss any cues, and reading it immeasurably enriches an understanding and appreciation of Monk's music."--George Kanzler, The Newark Star-Ledger. "With a man as hard to interview--and figure out--as Monk, better to have a collection of 39 perspectives than just one. THE THELONIOUS MONK READER is not only more complete than a straight biography, it's more fun, too."--Boston Globe. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a fine jacket featuring a more-than-fine photo portrait of the artist. Artikel-Nr. RUB2796
