| | Jazz Biography: Thelonious Monk CD Thelonious Monk Discography of CDs
The Monk installment in the JAZZ BIOGRAPHY series is just such a disc. At 17 tracks, the set doesn't skimp on quantity or quality, including many of Monk's best-known tunes. Listeners will be treated to the breezy insouciance of "In Walked Bud," the smoky evocations of "Round Midnight," the manic jumps of "Well, You Needn't," and the infectious swing of "Straight, No Chaser," to name just four Monk classics. This is a great place for the curious to get turned on to one of jazz's great geniuses.
Though rooted in the blues and in the explorations of bebop, the compositions of Thelonious Monk are unique in the canon of jazz. Angular, witty, and governed by their own internal logic, Monk's tunes have the power to endlessly fascinate, surprise, and entertain. His lengthy discography deserves devoted attention, but newcomers will want to find a disc that serves as a broad introduction to the artist's distinctive music.
Personnel: Thelonious Monk (piano); Lou Donaldson, Sahib Shihab (alto, alto saxophone); Lucky Thompson (tenor, tenor saxophone); Idrees Sulieman, K. Dorham, George Taitt (trumpet); Gary Mapp, J. Simmons, Al McKibbon, Nelson Boyd (bass instrument); Admiral S. Clay Wilson, S. Wilson (drums); Milt Jackson (vibraphone); Max Roach, Art Blakey (drums).

Jazz Biography: Thelonious Monk songs
$12.39 
STUMBLE INTO GRACE was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Over three decades into a highly successful career as an interpreter of other writers' material, Emmylou Harris beats the odds by releasing her second consecutive album of original compositions. She's had plenty of time to learn from the best, and the lessons gained from digging into the work of writers like Gram Parsons, Leonard Cohen, and Townes Van Zandt can be felt here, even if she can't be expected to equal their mastery. She works again with members of the Spyboy band ...
| | Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Welcome To Woody Creek CD (2004)
Jazz Biography: Thelonious Monk album
$12.19 
There was a time when the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and other West Coast country-rockers were viewed with suspicion by some members of the Nashville establishment, but times change -- and these days, country radio play lists are full of artists whose work has been greatly influenced by the country-rock that came out of Southern California in the '60s and '70s. So as it turns out, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Linda Ronstadt, and the Eagles (who the Dirt Band greatly influenced) were ahead of their time. But while much of the country-rock that's coming out of Nashville in the 21st century is extremely contrived and formulaic, the Dirt Band hasn't lost any of its organic, earthy ...
| | Randy Travis Passing Through CD (2004)
Jazz Biography: Thelonious Monk CD music
$15.65 
Well into his third decade as a country singer, Randy Travis continued to weather the changes in country music by remaining true to his own aesthetic. Travis was at the frontline of country's New Traditionalists in the 1980s, and, on 2004's PASSING THROUGH, he remains as roots-conscious as ever. For instance, the album's opening cut, the inspirational "Pick Up the Oars and Row," neatly splits the difference between Western Swing and barroom ballad, while the relatively up-tempo (Travis generally likes things slow and steady) "My Poor Old Heart" ventures into ...

Jazz Biography: Thelonious Monk music CDs
$18.05
One of the top trombonists of the second half of the 1920s, Miff Mole had a highly original style that featured wide-interval jumps and occasional whole-tone scales. Other than two big-band selections from 1937, all of his recordings as a leader prior to 1944 are on Slippin' Around, Vol. 1 and Slippin' Around Again, Vol. 2. Vol. 1 includes 14 numbers by Miff Mole's Molers of 1927-1928, a recording band that was basically Red Nichols' Five Pennies: cornetist Nichols, Mole, pianist Arthur Schutt, guitarist Dick McDonough, and drummer ...
