Thelonious Monk, who died in 1982, left numerous recordings in his inimitable piano style; and broke new ground with visionary compositions such as "Brilliant Corners" and "Round Midnight." As Sara Fishko tells us in this archival edition of the Fishko Files, hearing Thelonious Monk’s music for the first time can be habit-forming, as well as life-changing. It certainly was for Jason Moran.
