Give Saturday Coffee a Thelonious Monk Soundtrack
Thelonious Monk’s birthday is an excellent excuse to slow the morning down and let the piano do something unexpected.
Thelonious Monk Birthday Listening
When: Saturday, October 10; born in 1917
Listen: “Body and Soul,” featured on Monk’s official site
Born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Monk moved to New York at four and became one of jazz’s great musical originals. His use of silence and space makes a lovely companion for a coffee you intend to finish while it’s still warm.
