Podcasts about thelonious sphere monk

Born on Oct. 10, 1917, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Thelonious Sphere Monk became one of the most influential figures in jazz history. Monk moved to Manhattan in 1922, where he began playing piano at age six. By 13, he had won the Apollo Theater's amateur contest. His first recordings as a bandleader came in 1947, and he gained international fame with albums like “Brilliant Corners” and “Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane.” Monk became one of only five jazz musicians to appear on the cover of Time magazine in 1964. He passed away in 1982 at the age of 64, but his legacy endures through the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, which continues to train new generations of musicians. Learn more about your ad choices.

Maitland Jones Jr. wanted to be tennis player. At thirteen he attempted to enlist his parents into chauffeuring him around the east coast junior tennis circuit, to which they replied, “get a job kid.” That summer Maitland's first job was bottle washer and gofer for chemistry giants Laurence H. Knox and William von Eggers Doering, at their Hickrill Chemical Research laboratory in Katonah New York.  Complex chemistry equations that were once meaningless scribbles on the laboratory blackboard began to make sense over the next five to six years. Maitland enrolled at Yale to study chemistry, following his formative mentors Knox and Doering, where he journeyed deeper into his craft during a postdoctoral year with his famous teachers and followed with a second year at the University of Wisconsin under the guidance of Dr. Jerry Berson.  Over the span of 43 years Maitland collaborated with undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral and visiting fellows to write 225 published papers and books while at “Jones Alley,” the Princeton Lab where they explored and discovered reactive intermediates including carbenes, quantum molecular reactions, carboranes, and heterocycles—with a focus on “how electrons talked to each other.”   During his teaching career Maitland experimented with the elimination of large lecture “talking head” style teaching, breaking students into small groups, providing an environment of problem solving, and fostering scientific discovery through the exploration and distillation of disparate information. Professor Jones is the author of five books including, Organic Chemistry, (2014) published by W.W Norton, now in its fifth edition-- the prominent textbook taught to students across the globe. Today Maitland is following a parallel passion sparked during a performance by jazz innovator, the incomparable-- Thelonious Monk, at the NYC's Five Spot jazz club in 1957. Maitland is a regular in New York's jazz scene, and hosts Jazz Nights featuring evenings of great music at his home in New Jersey.  He co-produced Monk's Dreams: The Complete Compositions of Thelonious Sphere Monk, available on both compact disc and digital download.

SynopsisAmerican jazz composer and pianist Thelonious Sphere Monk was born on today's date in 1917. Largely self-taught, he began playing piano at 6. At 17, he dropped out of New York's esteemed Stuyvesant High School for gifted students to serve as organist for a touring evangelist. In his 20s, he became the house pianist at Minton's, a Manhattan jazz nightclub.Monk's original compositions, marked by dissonances and angular twists of melody, became jazz standards. They also had great titles: ‘Round Midnight; Straight, No Chaser; Ruby, My Dear; and Well, You Needn't.Monk made the cover of Time magazine and is credited with being the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington.Monk's biographer Robin D.G. Kelly, who spent 14 years researching Monk's life and music, said, “He was Janus-faced [looking backward and forward]. … Monk pulled as much from his roots, the old-style [stride] piano traditions he never left, as from the really futuristic musical territory he was the first to visit. He's always going to be associated with the founding of Bebop, with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. I don't place him on the Bebop school, though — I place him in his own school. “Music Played in Today's ProgramThelonious Monk (1917 – 1982) Ruby, My Dear - Thelonious Monk, piano Columbia Legacy CK-63533

Thelonious Sphere Monk, el inefable pianista y compositor nacido en North Carolina y formado en el Manhattan Sugar Hill. Pianista de la casa en el Minton's cuando tenia apenas 20 años, participa en los orígenes del bop para luego hacer una carrera totalmente original. Tanto que le produjo un cierto ostracismo al fin de la década del 40. De sus 70 temas, muchos son standards de jazz: Round Midnight, Bemsha Swing, Misterioso, Blue Monk, Straight No Chaser, 52nd street Theme entre otros. Un estilo angular con disonancias, la antítesis de Bud Powell con quien eran grandes amigos. Uno de los 5 jazzistas que llega a la tapa de Time. Otro protegido de la baronesa Pannonica de Koenigswarter a quien le compone el maravilloso Pannonica My Butterfly.

My guest today is the man. Tim Warfield. Legend. He's shared the stage with everyone from Donald Byrd, to Marcus Miller, to Christian McBride, to Shirley Scott, to Nicholas Payton, Charles Fambrough, Terell Stafford, Stefon Harris, Orrin Evans, and that is the extremely abridged version. But what is most impressive to me is how he encourages, energizes, and leads the next generation. Our conversation was super inspiring as we jumped around from various topics including fashion, conquering fear, dealing with the business of music, his unique take on ear training, as well as some nuggets of wisdom from a life spent among the masters. If you haven't checked out his work, I highly recommend his albums Gentle Warrior, Jazzland (his most recent release), and my personal favorite Spherical, his deep dive into the work and genius of Thelonious Sphere Monk.

El nuevo episodio de La vida circular está dedicado a la memoria del trombonista, armonicista y compositor Francisco Salgado, que falleció prematuramente el 21 de mayo de este año, a los 39 años, dejando un inmenso dolor en la comunidad jazzística local. Con la presencia de sus dos más grandes parceiros, el bajista Guillermo Roldán y la pianista colombiana Tatiana Castro Mejía, evocamos y celebramos la vida y obra de un músico extraordinario, que indagaba en las raíces más primitivas del blues rural y las proyectaba hacia una música de vanguardia, ya sea al frente de su grupo, Salgado y Asociados, en el Cuarteto Instantáneo (que integraba junto a Roldán, Castro Mejía y uno de sus maestros, el cornetista Enrique Norris), con el Mafia Underground Trío, o a dúo con Tatiana Castro Mejía, revisitando la obra de Thelonious Sphere Monk.

Thelonious Sphere Monk turns one-hundred this year, which is approximately the number of albums based on his music released each year. Mike and Pat discuss the master's recently unearthed sound track to Dangerous Liaisons and three fairly recently tribute albums to his deathless music. Thelonious Monk - LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES; (Plays Monk) – PLAYS MONK; John Beasley – MONK’ESTRA VOL. 1; Dave Zoller – EVIDENCE: MUSIC OF THELONIOUS MONK.

Thelonious Sphere Monk, el sumo sacerdote del BeBop, vuelve a mostrarse en todo su esplendor en el doble CD Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Sam Records – Saga, 2017), publicado con motivo del Record Store Day 2017. En solitario o en quinteto junto a los habituales Charlie Rouse, Sam Jones, Art Taylor, y al invitado Barney Wilen, recreaba algunos de sus clásicos para la banda sonora de la película de Roger Vadim. En HDO 274 escuchamos algunos de los temas incluidos en esta grabación absolutamente recomendable: “Pannonica”, “Well, You Needn’t”, “Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are” y “Rhythm-a-Ning”.
