About this event
When you're swinging, swing some more ! - Thelonious Monk (1917-1982) is one of the most original and inventive pianists and composers of the jazz tradition. Originally influenced by stride pianists like James P. Johnson and Fats Waller he emerged in the bebop era in the 1940's as the house pianist at Mintons Playhouse becoming one of the most influential figures in modern jazz.
