Unique, alone and solitary, Thelonious Monk, extreme pianist, pursued his career with patient obstinacy. His work is colossal, original, bewildering and unusually modern. His compositions show as much quasi-scientific rigour as chaotic urgency and, as they unfold, swing from compexity to simplicity and back again. His work has all the characteristics of the art: mystery, an arbitrary nature and clarity.
