What if the fight for healing our communities and ensuring access to fresh, nourishing food could begin with supporting the soil beneath our feet? Black farmers like Thelonious Cook are leading this movement, not only restoring land through regenerative practices but also reconnecting people to the cultural and communal power of food. This episode explores how farming is about more than crops—it's about equity, sustainability, and reclaiming identity. Join me as I talk with Thelonious, the founder of Mighty Thunder Cloud Edible Forest in Virginia, who shares his journey of stewarding a seven-acre family farm. We dive into how he employs indigenous and regenerative practices to replenish the land, build biodiversity, and foster healthier ecosystems. As a leader in the Mid-Atlantic Black Farmers Caucus, Thelonious also explains how collaboration among farmers is revitalizing food systems, empowering communities, and inspiring new generations to reconnect with the land. From the challenges of small-scale farming to creating accessible weekly farm boxes and supporting local markets, this conversation reveals the transformative impact of knowing where your food comes from. Whether you're inspired to visit a farmers' market, connect with your local growers, or reimagine the role of food in community healing, this episode is your call to action. Tune in now to learn how Thelonious' vision can inspire you to support Black farmers, embrace regenerative practices, and advocate for food sovereignty in your community.

This week we switch it up for you and discuss two of last years Oscar Nominated feature films Past Lives and American Fiction. Written and directed by Celine Song, Past Lives tells the story of Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo) who contemplate the experience and nature of their bond when they reunite 24 years after their separation in South Korea when Nora's family immigrated to the US. American Fiction, a satirical comedy-drama based on the novel Erasure by Percival Everett, was written and directed by Cord Jefferson and tells the story of frustrated writer and professor Thelonius "Monk" Ellison (Jeffery Wright) as he navigates the institutional expectations of the publishing and film industry when it comes to 'Black' books and the stereotypes therein. He returns home where he reconnects with family at the same time as a manuscript he jokingly submitted containing all the stereotypes he abhors suddenly gains popularity with publisher to hilarious effect. We discuss each films reflections on language, family, identity, immigration, stereotypes, and the importance of holding space for relationships that represent parts of us we think we've left behind. We also discuss the limitations and stereotypes faced by black creators in the film and media industry.  We hope you enjoy! 08:29 Discussion of 'Past Lives' 19:59 Discussion of 'American Fiction' 28:34 Exploring Identity and Stereotypes 35:12 Challenging Stereotypes and the Power of Storytelling 36:42 Breaking Stereotypes: The Challenges Faced by Creators of Colour 47:03 The Importance of Diverse Storytelling 51:48 The Challenges of Pursuing Creative Ambitions Instagram: @assumeitwillbebrilliantpod  Music: Humblux - S.H.E. Cali Greens - Artillery (Extended Clip) 8, 14, and 18

Writer-director Cord Jefferson's debut feature, American Fiction, combines satire with family dynamics to fairly charming, if visually uninspiring, effect. Jeffrey Wright's Thelonius is a novelist forced into a leave of absence from his teaching position, whereupon he returns to Boston and reconnects with his family, from whom he's distant. He's also furious that his latest manuscript has been rejected for not being black enough, and that what "black enough" means involves every negative stereotype of black people and culture imaginable. But when he sarcastically writes such a novel to shove society's attitude in its face, it's taken seriously by the white literary elite, who shower it with praise. From the trailer, Mike was expecting more focus on the satire, and more energy à la Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You. It's a surprise, then, that American Fiction spends so much time developing the family drama, but not an unpleasant one, and José finds that aspect the film's most interesting. We consider the idea that the film uses the family story to practice what it preaches, offering a story about black people that doesn't require them to be black in order to justify its existence - it's a universal story about distanced siblings, a mother with failing health, and broken marriages. And we discuss the film's ending, or lack thereof, in which the inescapability of the culture that demands stereotype is emphasised at the expense of a satisfying, earned conclusion to the story we've been told. American Fiction doesn't create a single artful image, and that ending is disappointing, but the film is also interesting, absorbing, and funny. Worth a look. Recorded on 2nd February 2024.

In 1942, the Czech government in exile decided to parachute two commandos into the former Czechoslovakia to assassinate  Reinhard Heydrich, considered the most brutal and sinister Nazi in Occupied Europe.  Code named Operation Anthropoid, this suicide mission remains one of the most heroic and remarkable stories of World War II On the evening of June 26, 1942, Heydrich hosted a concert featuring classical music composed by his father. Twelve hours later he would be fighting for his life after one of the two parachutists successfully detonated an anti-tank grenade near his limousine. Heydrich's convertible Mercedes-Benz limousine after the commando attack. But Kubas had also approached the car, undetected and he hurled the grenade towards the open interior of the vehicle.  He missed badly, the device skittering against the rear right tire and exploding against the side and undercarriage of the Mercedes.  Although inaccurate, the blast was intense enough to shatter the tram's windows and send shrapnel into a group of passengers exiting the streetcar. St. Cyril and Thelonius Cathedral, where the commandos made their final stand against overwhelming Nazi force. It is not known where exactly Kubis and Gabcik hid in the first days after the assassination.  But, understanding that it was only a matter of time before they would be located, Jan Zelensky arranged for seven of the fugitive commandos to be hidden in the expansive crypt of the Saint Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, Prague's most prominent Czech Orthodox church. Heinz Pannwitz, Gestapo investigator Heinz Pannwitz, the local Gestapo official in charge of the investigation and manhunt decided that a change of strategy was in order.  He got Frank to agree to announce that an amnesty would be provided to any citizen who provided valuable information about the assassins, as long as this occurred before June 18.  If an arrest was not forthcoming by then, 30,000 Czechs would be detained and executed. Vent that led to the crypt at St. Cyril and Thelonius cathedral, bullet holes were made during the final standoff. The only other access was through a narrow opening leading to the exterior of the church, essentially for ventilation.  Not wanting to instigate another mass suicide, Pannwitz attempted to reason with the remaining commandos inside.  Announcements via loudspeaker blared that the defenders would be treated as POW's if they surrendered.  Petrek, and even Karol Curda, was sent up to the narrow opening, hoping to induce a peaceful conclusion.  Upon hearing Curda's voice, one of the defenders let loose with gunshots and yelled that they would never surrender.  Pannwitz then tried having the city fire department flood the crypt, jamming large fire houses down the vent and releasing hundreds of gallons of water a minute as well as tear gas into the crypt, to no avail.  The hoses were pushed out by the defenders, who also hurled Molotov cocktails at the firemen. Horst Bohme, ranking officer at Lidice, with Karl Hermann Frank and Himmler. The ranking officer on the scene in charge of the Lidice massacre, Horst Bohme, disappeared at the end of the war and was declared legally dead in 1954, most likely a suicide. Lidice, after initial German demolition. Even before Heydrich's state funeral in Berlin concluded, on the evening of June 9, upon hearing the details of Lidice's defiance, Hitler ordered the village to be completely destroyed.  At 9:30 at night, the village was sealed off, men over the age of fifteen were separated from the town's women and children, and in groups of ten were placed against a wall and shot.  At midday on the tenth, all 173 men were dead.  They were buried in a mass grave dug by concentration camp inhabitants from Theriesiensdtadt.  203 women were placed on an armed transport to the women's concentration camp facility at Ravensbruck.  Although brutal, this was not an extermination camp, 143 of these deportees survived their imprisonment.  As many as 105 children were detained, the exact number unclear based on their ultimate fates.  Only a handful of these victims were determined to be suitable for “Germanization,” several eventually murdered in German orphanages.  The rest were consigned to the Chelmno extermination camp.  Only seventeen made it home after the war. Lidice memorial to the child victims of the Nazi massacre.

If you enjoy hardcore Hip-Hop, rock with Big DOJO as he combines recent sets: Milk The Cow and Thelonius (named after some of the more provocative song titles in each set respectively). Raging Bull is a nod to the song "Hostile" by Erick Sermon where the world was introduced to the incredible lyricist Keith Murray so that's where the 'raging' part of the title comes in. Also, I am spinning choice bangers from the Milk the Cow sets (thus the Bull).  Enjoy../

Rock out with D. Sonix on this combination of his recent Milk The Cow Set - where the Bull comes from - and a nod to the song "Thelonius" by Common where the mainstream was introduced to Slum Village and the unmatchable J Dilla - where the '-onious' suffix was created.  Enjoy...

Paula interviews world-renowned jazz guitarist and bassist, Fred Thelonius Baker.  Fred was a student at Birmingham School of Music (now Royal Birmingham Conservatoire) from 1979, and studied composition with Andrew Downes. Andrew went on to invite Fred to teach at Birmingham Conservatoire in 1989, which led to Fred being a major part of Andrew's new School of Composition and Creative Studies from the early 90s. Fred has been a permanent teacher/lecturer in accoustic and bass guitar there ever since. In the mid 90s, Andrew composed his Concerto for Guitar, Electric Bass Guitar and Strings for Fred playing Electric Bass with Simon Dinnigan playing Acoustic Guitar. They recorded it for CD in 1999 with string players from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Fred and Simon also arranged Downes' Piano Sonatina, Movement 2 for Electric Bass and Acoustic Guitar and also recorded this for the CD. All of these works are played throughout the episode. More information on the works and the CD can be found here: https://www.andrewdownes.com/Soloists-with-Orchestra.html#GUITARSTRINGS Fred Thelonious Baker is a Jazz guitarist and bassist from the English village of Tibshelf, Derbyshire. Born in 1960, Fred was given a ukulele when he was four by his father. Indeed, Fred's parents were a major influence in the beginning of his musical journey. A year later, he was given his first guitar and went on to learn the Classical guitar. During his mid-teens, Fred also began an interest in the bass guitar, an instrument with which he has since become synonymous. After studying at Chesterfield College, Fred went on to study at Birmingham School of Music (now Conservatoire) where he gained a GBSM and ABSM in teaching and performance. Around this time, at the invitation of Sir John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, Fred began teaching at Wavendon All Music Summer School. Since then, Fred has taught and given masterclasses at many universities, music colleges and music Summer schools including Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Berkeley College of Music, USA, St Petersburg Conservatory, Russia, London Brunel, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and Derby Universities. Since 1989, he has been a permanent teacher/lecturer in acoustic and bass guitar at Birmingham Conservatoire. Fred has performed all over the world as a session musician and soloist with a variety of musicians and ensembles including Courtney Pine, Nigel Kennedy, Billy Cobham, the CBSO, Fairport Convention, Robert Wyatt, Harry Beckett, Horace Parlan, Soft Machine, John Etheridge, Pip Pyle, Ric Sanders, Karen Street, Joe Sachse, Tony Levin, Phil Bates, Clive Bunker, Elton Dean, Simon Dinnigan, Geoff Eales, Liam Genocky and Phil Miller. As both a jazz guitarist and bassist, Fred has appeared extensively on many recordings. "Spinal Tap" from his solo accoustic guitar CD, Life Suite, will be played on this episode.

In Langenthal feiert Thomas Aeschbacher am Donnerstag seinen 55sten Geburtstag. In Geris L

Dungeon Master Craig_WK has an important announcement for all the listeners of Noobs and Dragons, before season 3 begins! Afterwards, he gives a light recap of season 2 which should help fans of the season re-familiarize themselves with the adventures of Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius!

All stories must come to an end, and soon the journey of Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius will be over. Their quest has been intrinsically linked to the being known as Project X-3.19. Otherwise known as The Great Devourer, or Emphysema; and was once an Elf named Anavel. Now the trio must bargain with Anavel one more time, for the souls of all that were eaten by the creature within Rayburn Falls! How will the group come to terms with their former foe? Is he an enemy once more? How will our heroes escape from Pox'Moridon? Find out in the exciting conclusion to season 2!

After defeating the foes that stood before them, only one more figure stands in the team's way: Pyralis. All of her machinations have led to this moment, with only Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius to stand before her. Can our heroes hope to stand before one of the world's most powerful wizards? Should they fail, a new portal will rip open into the primary plane, unleashing Azadon upon Rayburn Falls! What other demonic beings could be lurking within Pox'Moridon...?

After defeating Tytherion, the group's celebration was short lived, as now Murdoch and Aldaria stand before Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius! While Hannibal and Thelonius battle against the worshiper of Azadon, Alice must fight to the death with her childhood friend. Destiny can be unbearably cruel, and so now fate must play out: what terrible things will unfold within Pox'Moridon? Can the team battle against the most devout of Azadon within it's own dimension? What of a High Elf turned Demon? And what of Pyralis who looms at the edge of the battlefield?

Standing before the portal to Pox'Moridon is Zax the Dragonborn who once served as the retainer to Mornn Ballantine. Infused with dark power from Pyralis, what reasoning led this proud warrior to stand against Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius? Does the group have the power to face him? If they do, do they have the ability to contend with the being who granted that horrid energy upon him?

Locked in battle with his brother Thucydides, Thelonius and his friends must try and incapacitate his sibling, in the hope that his memories can be restored! With assistance from Alice and Hannibal, can Theloinus help his brother? What of Alice's sister Ophelia? What manner of horrors have been inflicted upon her within the laboratory of the Council of Lazslo?

Down in the depths of the New Arkhosian Foundry, the elevator has stopped at the very bottom, and right into the laboratory of the Council of Lazslo! With their comrades behind them; Alice, Hannibal and Thelonius make their way into the lab, only to be greeted by a grisly sight! Further ahead, dangers lie in wait, including a trap left by the fiendish Pyralis. What hope does Thelonius have of being reunited with Thucydides?

With a team of their allies behind them, the group delves into Pyralis' base of operations within the Elemental Chaos! Confronted by an army of skeletal Salamanders, our heroes can only force their way through, in an effort to stop the machinations of their arch enemies. Can Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius make it to Pyralis, all the while protecting their comrades? Just who is the foreman of the forges within the foundry?

On the eve of their final dungeon dive, Alice, Hannibal and Thelonius are joined by a menagerie of their allies and comrades from their time in Rayburn Falls. A dinner with a heavy mood begins as Fritz Barril serves up an amazing meal, which gives the group an opportunity to chat with their friends. Will this be the final dinner the team ever has? What horrors await them within the New Arkhosian Foundry where Pyralis resides?

With the Armor of Endless Night assembled, and Tytherion having taken over Anavel Bloodbane's manufactured body, Pyralis has retreated into the Elemental Chaos to prepare for her ultimate plan! Alice, Hanibal, and Thelonius must now gather their allies and prepare to assault the New Arkhosian Foundry to stop her from destroying the city of Rayburn Falls, and bringing terror to the entire world! Do our heroes have any chance at all, in the face of such overwhelming odds?

Trapped within the Dragon District of Rayburn Falls, with Pyralis atop a hideous dragon, and Anavel Bloodbane demanding their piece of the Armor of Endless Night. The group tries their best to reason with the draconic construct, but Pyralis doesn't make it easy when she offers to help Anavel slay the group and retrieve the magical piece of armor, and even threatens Alice, Hannibal and Thelonius' friends in the city! What choice does the team have in the face of such overwhelming odds?

With the assistance of Alexantalis Everwinter, the group assaults the Shipping District, in the hopes of confronting the cultists who've been using human trafficking to make bargains with demons! Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius follow along with the powerful mage, who unleashes a salvo of magical attacks against all who stand in his way, but who lies in wait, deep within the warehouse that Longinus Payne owns?

With the bargain struck between the group and Project X-3.19, otherwise known as Anavel Bloodbane, the team must now figure out how they want to deal with faking the death of Alexantalis Everwinter. Deciding to be upfront with Alice's old mentor, she's joined by Hannibal and Thelonius as they head to the Rayburn Falls Magical Academy. How will the mage react to finding out Alice lives? And what of his reaction to finding out about his son...?

After the trap on the back door was triggered, the group must confront a zombified Verna L. Citrinefall, who has been empowered by dark magic! Should they deal with her, do they dare step within the Citrinefall Estate, knowing that Cascadia has left behind all the traps she could muster, in the hopes that she could have revenge on Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius? What treasures lie in wait for the team? Will they escape with their lives?

After slaying the monster that their former friend had become, and with Cascadia Citrinefall having left the city of Rayburn Falls, the group must clean up the mess that she left behind. Afterwards, Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius make their way back home to the Myrtille Auberge, only to find an unfamiliar face. Who is this stranger, and why is Maxwell Steelbreeze so excited to see him? What clues can the group gain from this athletic man with a funny accent?

Forced to confront the neurotic shoe cobbler within the Moonlight Cloak: Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius find themselves fleeing from the flesh-crafting abomination, after Norbert Tinkledink was stabbed by a Shard of The Black Pyramid. Cascadia Citrinefall only needs this monster to slay the group so that she can remain in the city and unleash her terrifying plans! Can the group melt their former ally down? Or will they get trampled by the footsie aberration?

Tension rises with the arrival of Miss Citrinefall, who arrives at the Myrtille Auberge with a smile on her face, but comes baring the news that this will be the last meal that she'll share with Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius. Can she possibly be the person responsible for all of the terrible things happening within the city of Rayburn Falls? If so, why would she just come over for a meal? What sinister plans unfold while the group shares dinner with her?

After having gained access to the Citrinefall Estate, Thelonius helps his allies inside where they begin to piece together the puzzle that has confounded them since they arrived within the city of Rayburn Falls. Who was it that released Project X-3.19? What motive could they possibly have? Where is Verna's sister Cascadia? Is there a piece of the Armor of Endless Night within the mansion? Will Verna be arriving to dinner...?

Sitting within the parlor of the mansion of Cassius Payne, Alice, Hannibal and Thelonius find themselves interviewing the Councilor of the Merchant District. More and more clues are falling into place, and seem to be pointing towards the Tiefling as the manipulator behind the scenes of all the terrible events happening in the city of Rayburn Falls. As the group gets to the bottom of things, they investigate the dealings of the Payne family, but will they find more than they bargained for?

Having made their way into the bowels of the catacombs underneath the church, the group along with their begrudging ally Anavel Bloodbane has come face to face with the Demon known as Kuru. All the fiend must do is devour Altarius Brightmore to obtain immense power from Azadon, but on the other side of the room, Alice has come face to face with the old friend she thought was missing: Aldaria Everwinter. Just what happened to her old friend, to make him join forces with Murdoc Obsidian? Can the alliance of Hannibal, Thelonius and Anavel defeat Kuru while Alice keeps Aldaria busy? Will the team keep their bargain with the draconic monster?

With the return of season 2 proper, we find Alice, Hannibal and especially Thelonius in a very difficult situation! The Dragonborn Sorceror has stumbled into the arms of Project X-3.19, the very monster that has been devouring the citizens of Rayburn Falls. Stuck between the horrifying creation of Laszlo VonDrakovitch, and the Catacombs of Kuru where they need to save Altarius Brightmore, what hope does the group have?

We now conclude our synopsis of each day of the second season to Noobs and Dragons, as we cover days nine through thirteen! Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius have been investigating the city of Rayburn Falls for only a few days, but it feels like a lifetime, as they try to solve the mystery of just who's behind all the terrible things happening in the city. With this episode and the previous one, you're now ready for Noobs and Dragons to begin anew!

Now that the intermission adventure has ended, it's time to freshen up on our lore of the primary season 2 adventure! Dungeon Master Craig_WK dives into all the events and clues that Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius have uncovered, going day by day, to give everybody a glimpse into what's going on in the city of Rayburn Falls. This episode covers the first eight days that the team have experienced.

The trilogy of character creation episodes ends with Sphinx making his character for the intermission adventure that will be happening in the world of Geisel, while the events of season two unfold. What type of character will Sphinx make to mix things up, and step away from the spell slinging Thelonius?

Lazslo, mad scientist of the Bloodbane family has decided that he would destroy the heroes who stand in his way, make his way to the surface, destroy the city of Rayburn Falls, and recover Project X-3.19! Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius are the only three that can stand in the lunatic's way, but against the horrific might of his bio-mechanical monster, what chance do they have? Will the group make it, or will Rayburn Falls truly become the City of Endless Night?

In the bowels of the Atelier of Lazslo, the group finds the laboratory where the sinister project was birthed, but when they find themselves with more questions than answers, they have to make a tough decision. Will they open the capsule that presumably houses Lazslo himself? Just who is this strange scientist who sought to work on such a horrifying creation? What dreaded connections to the past does the mad man have? And when madness swells in the basement of the atelier, will Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius survive?

In the midst of investigating the Atelier of Lazslo, the trio has found an elaborate study in the Research Zone of the laboratory, that's guarded by a huge, ogre-like Dragonborn with five Chromatic dragon heads. As Hannibal and Alice grab the plug needed for the console, Thelonius is stuck staring down the brutish monstrosity in front of them. When the beastly oaf goes on the offensive, can the group survive one of the creations of Lazslo? What else lies within the depths of the lab? What's within the Failure Zone of the atelier?

Thelonius requests Demetri and Vince to offer their thoughts on the new developments from the incident from November.

Joined by the councilman Flack Chimerazon, the group investigates the Grand Duke Lion Cathedral, but all the while the councilor of the New Residential District is getting more and more drunk. When the group needs to make a report, and also follow the drunken Chimerazon, the trio splits up, with Hannibal and Alice going to the Sheriff's office, and Thelonius hunting down the councilman. As Thelonius deals with Chimerazon's Raiders, Hannibal and Alice run into a strange cobbler. Will the group meet up and learn any new clues?

After receiving a letter addressed to 'those who seek the past,' the group is intrigued by an invite to a local hotel. Before leaving to investigate, the trio has dinner with Maxwell Steelbreeze and they discuss what happened to Hannibal and Maxwell in a place known as Obsidian Town. Before the team can look into the letter, they decide to visit the Grand Duke Lion Cathedral, only to find that somebody broke in. When Alice and Thelonius go to fetch a guard, Hannibal finds that he's not alone. Will his comrades make it back with an ally strong enough to help? Or is Hannibal Demonbreaker doomed?

The group has been given a list of a couple of mages who seemed suspicious to Kibo Freedompeak, one of which is a member of Chimerazon's Raiders, and the other is the very first person to go missing in the team's case: Xof Rev'res. The trio then splits up, with Hannibal and Thelonius speaking with Alezantalis Everwinter, and Alice chatting with Madam Wendy. Will they be able to learn more about what's going on? Can they gather any clues on the missing mage?

With the Carrion Crawler slain, Alice and Thelonius look to Hannibal for answers about the cryptic statements of the horrifying monster. Afterwards, the trio explore the sanitarium and see strange things, and hear even stranger voices. When their own pasts begin to ooze out of their memories and into the asylum they're investigating, just how will the group react? Can they possibly maintain their sanity in such a terrifying place?

Pianist Laura Caviani leads her trio into the Dunsmore Room at Crooners on Thursday Oct, to play a show centered on the music of Thelonius Monk, one of the great jazz composers. The show is from 7 till 9. In a conversation with Phil Nusbaum, the talk turned to what made Thelonius a great Jazz composer.

As the group continues to explore the Raspith Mausoleum, Alice, Hannibal, and Thelonius find a strange note within some Necromancy tomes that reveals some strange facts about someone known as Laszlo desiring a brain, and another man known as Grigor Gratzer needing knowledge on a dragon known as Botulism Bloodbane! When the team stumbles upon an argument, what side will they take? Are one of them even mortal?

Three adventurers have been called to the city of Rayburn Falls to investigate strange disappearances! The High Elf Rogue named Alice, a Half Elf Fighter by the name of Hannibal Demonbreaker, and a Dragonborn Sorceror known as Thelonius have been called together in order to get to the bottom of everything that's happening. Is it a series of kidnappings, a murderous serial killer, or is it something far worse than what any of them can imagine?

.I Love You.-JAZZANIVERSARIO.-Thelonious Monk Trio.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-RAUL ROMO QUINTET PROG.Nº 580.- Dos horas para el análisis y repaso a la historia y actualidad que generan esta música americana . Todo en el tono que acostumbra este programa, en dos secciones JAZZ ANIVERSARIO y JAZZ ACTUALIDAD importantes novedades y diferentes canales de comunicación que se ofrecerán al oyente. STANDARD SEMANAL.- “I Love You” JAZZ RECUERDO ANIVERSARIO. Thelonious Monk Trio.- Nacido en Rocky Mount (Carolina del Norte), su familia se trasladó poco después a Manhattan, en Nueva York; en ese apartamento viviría hasta el final de sus días. Comenzó a tocar el piano a la edad de seis años y, aunque recibió alguna educación musical, fue esencialmente un autodidacta; sus primeras influencias fueron dos de los grandes pianistas de corte stride, James P. Johnson y Willie "The Lion" Smith. Durante su adolescencia comenzó a trabajar en algunos rent parties tocando el órgano y el piano en la iglesia bautista. Estudió en el instituto Stuyvesant, si bien nunca llegó a graduarse. En 1935, decidió irse de viaje a recorrer el mundo acompañando con el piano a un predicador evangelista. Después de dos años, regresó a su ciudad y formó su propio cuarteto, actuando en diversos clubes hasta que en 1941 el baterista Kenny Clarke lo eligió como pianista de la casa para tocar en el Minton's Playhouse, el legendario club de Harlem en el que se engendraría el bebop. Su estilo en la época es descrito como "hard-swinging", con marcadas influencias de Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson y otros pianistas. Durante su estancia en Minton's, Monk fue perfeccionando su estilo único, participando en sesiones llamadas "cutting competitions", con los más renombrados solistas de la época. Durante esos años, Monk entró en contacto con músicos como Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson y John Coltrane, que estaban sentando las bases del bebop. En 1944 realizó sus primeras grabaciones con el Coleman Hawkins Quartet. En 1947 grabó por primera vez como líder de su propia banda, y publicó su LP de debut, Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 1, que mostraba su talento tanto para la composición como para la improvisación. Ese mismo año se casó con Nellie Smith, y en 1949 el matrimonio tuvo un hijo, T.S. Monk, que sería baterista de jazz. Su hija Barbara nació en 1953. En agosto de 1951, fue arrestado por la policía de Nueva York, acusado de posesión de narcóticos, pues se negó a denunciar a su amigo, el también pianista Bud Powell, al que presumiblemente pertenecía la droga. Se le retiró el permiso para actuar en locales nocturnos en que se despachase alcohol (una autorización, el "New York City Cabaret Card", que era expedida por la policía). Pasó la primera mitad de los años 50 componiendo, grabando discos y actuando en teatros y giras fuera de la ciudad. Tras grabar varios discos para Blue Note entre 1947 y 1952, firmó un contrato con Prestige, para la que grabó entre 1952 y 1954 algunos de sus discos más importantes, incluyendo colaboraciones con el saxofonista Sonny Rollins y con el baterista Art Blakey. El productor Orrin Keepnews, de Riverside Records, le persuadió de que grabase un disco con temas de Duke Ellington y otro con estándares, para que su música se hiciese más accesible al público medio de jazz. En 1956 grabó el clásico Brilliant Corners y a partir del año siguiente los cambios en su vida se sucedieron. Monk fue contratado por el Five Spot y allí formaría parte de un cuarteto que contaría con el saxofonista John Coltrane. Como consecuencia de estas actuaciones, la crítica y el público de jazz lo reconocerían por fin como un maestro. El hasta entonces carácter único de su música, que tan difícil era de asumir por una audiencia que tenía como modelo a Bud Powell, se convirtió en 1957 en un motivo de admiración. De repente, Monk se convirtió en una celebridad y su estatus no cambiaría hasta el final de su carrera. En 1959, su cuarteto contó con la participación del saxofonista tenor Johnny Griffin en 1959 apareció con una orquesta en el Town Hall; en 1962 firmó con Columbia y dos años después fue portada de la revista Time. Un segundo concierto con orquesta fue celebrado en 1962, resultando mejor que el primero, por lo que Monk estaría constantemente de gira durante los años sesenta con su cuarteto, ahora con el tenor Charlie Rouse. Tocó con los Giants of Jazz durante 1971-1972, y en 1973, repentinamente, se retiró. Monk padecía de una enfermedad mental y, aparte de unas apariciones especiales a mediados de los setenta, vivió recluido el resto de su vida. Thelonious Monk, ha sido, posiblemente, el mayor compositor de jazz después de Duke Ellington. Y ello a pesar de haber efectuado gran parte de su obra en menos de quince años, y apenas superar en ese espacio de tiempo (entre principios de 1940 y mediados de 1950), los sesenta temas. Las composiciones de Thelonious Monk, son claramente identificables por su angulosidad, asimetría y sentido de de la forma. Se afirma justificadamente, que Monk ordenó y organizó los elementos melódicos, armónicos y rítmicos introducidos en el jazz moderno. Se le ha considerado un apóstol de la discontinuidad por su organización del espacio, los silencios, las disonancias, los intervalos separados por el contraste de registros y sonidos, las anticipaciones y retrasos en los acentos desplazados. Su originalidad se manifiesta también en su manera heterodoxa de percutir las teclas con los dedos extendidos, extrayendo un sonido ácido, casi metálico En la época en que Monk grabó este disco, el pianista se encontraba en la cima de su creatividad. Ya había alumbrado muchas de sus obras maestras como "Evidence" "Misterioso" o "Criss Croos" en compañía del vibrafonista, Milt Jackson (Todo ello está recogido en el extraordinario álbum doble de Blue Note, titulado "Genius of Modern Music"). En las piezas aquí recogidas, la empatía con Art Blakey, el batería que mas utilizó Thelonious, es sobresaliente. "Little Rootie Tootie" dedicada a su hijo, reproduce la marcha de un tren y sus silbidos; "Bye-ya" está construida sobre una figura rítmica, y "These Foolish Things", ahora con Max Roach a la batería, es indicativo del humor sarcástico con que Monk interpretaba los standars de jazz, reelaborándolos y dándoles un nuevo cariz, y "Blue Monk" aquí en su versión mas lograda, es uno de los temas de mas éxito de Thelonious, y es un blues de ejemplar sencillez. (Thelonious Monk, era uno de los grandes interpretes de blues). La música monkiana ha tardado mucho tiempo en imponerse. Considerada al principio demasiada difícil y extraña, los temas de Monk interpretados por otros jazzmen se reducían al celebérrimo: "Round Midnight"; "Straigh no Chaser" o al citado "Blue Monk". El saxo soprano, Steve Lacy, fue quizás el único músico que abordó piezas más difíciles y desconocidas, especializándose durante un periodo de tiempo en su repertorio. Tras su muerte la situación cambió y hoy son muchos los músicos, especialmente pianistas, que le dedican discos enteros. El grupo "Sphere", tomado del apellido de Monk, con Charlie Rouse a la cabeza, el saxofonista que mas tiempo estuvo con Monk, se dedicó enteramente al universo monkiano. La tendencia al sincretismo de los jóvenes músicos de jazz, su mirada a la historia del jazz en busca de inspiración, acrecentará posiblemente el interés en el inmediato futuro por un filón musical de la talla de uno de los maestros del jazz, no explotado totalmente. Magnifico pianista y extraordinario compositor, Thelonious Monk, (1917-1982), se traslada desde Rocky Mount, la localidad donde nació, con su familia a New York con apenas tres años. A los cinco o seis años ya golpetea las teclas y a los once recibe lecciones de piano. De adolescente acompaña al órgano y al piano a su madre, que canta en una iglesia baptista, y a comienzos de los años 30 empieza a tocar en un local de su barrio como integrante de un trío. Tras ganar un concurso de aficionados al piano en el famoso Theatre Apollo de Harlem, realiza breves estudios en la "Julliard School" en 1939 y mas tarde se asocia con el baterista Kenny Clarke, que por entonces trabajaba establemente en el "Minton's Playhouse" de Harlem, el club fundacional del bebop años mas tarde. Casi al mismo tiempo, Kenny Clarke, le presenta a Bud Powell, pianista habitual de ese club y con el que establece una buena amistad. Es precisamente al lado de estos músicos y junto con el saxofonista alto, Charlie Parker, el trompetista Dizzy Gillespie, y el guitarrista, Charlie Christian, con quienes inventa el nuevo sonido del jazz moderno y que todos conocemos como bebop. Las jam sessions del Minton's son rápidamente anunciadas de boca en boca y todos los músicos importantes de New York y todos los aficionados al jazz, pasan por Harlem para oír a los jóvenes músicos que se atrevieron a dar por terminada la era del swing con el nacimiento de la nueva y revolucionaria música. En 1944, Monk, conoce a Coleman Hawkins, con quien toca en el Club Onyx de la Calle 52 y con el que graba sus primeros discos, que luego serían consideradas las primeras grabaciones oficiales del bebop. Luego toca con el trompetista Cottie Williams y el saxofonista Skippy Williams y en 1946, con la big band de Dizzy Gillespie. En 1947 graba finalmente bajo su nombre, en combo y en trío, para el sello Blue Note una serie de discos extraordinarios y actúa en diferentes clubes hasta 1951. Fue su época dorada. En aquellos años, ya con un estilo pianístico conciso y perfecto, con una madurez estilística consolidada y con la creatividad a flor de piel, Thelonius nos dejó sus mejores composiciones, algunas de ellas, verdaderas obras maestras que se han convertido con el paso del tiempo en verdaderos estándares del jazz. Tres hay que destacar necesariamente, la bella "Round About Midnight", su extraordinaria composición "Straigh No Chaser" y su clásico "Blue Monk". Pero desgraciadamente los buenos tiempos se le acabaron pronto y en 1951 es arrestado junto a Bud Powell por consumo de estupefacientes. Tras dos meses de cárcel le retiran el permiso de trabajo, lo que le impide actuar en los clubes de Nueva York hasta 1957. Fue casi una sentencia de muerte para su creatividad. En 1954, y tras una malísima racha económica solo superada por malísimos contratos mal pagados fuera de New York, y con una voluntad de hierro y arropado por su familia, no dejó nunca de componer ni de tocar el piano en su domicilio, hasta que en 1954, se cruzó en su vida la baronesa, Pannonica "Nica" de Koenigswarter, quien le ayuda económicamente hasta que le devuelven en 1957 el carné de músico. Nacido de nuevo para el jazz, Thelonious Monk, realiza una vuelta triunfal para tocar en el recién inaugurado club, Five Spot con John Coltrane y mas tarde, con Johnny Griffin y Roy Haynes. El éxito fue tan rotundo que el contrato se prolongó por espacio de seis meses y comenzaron las giras por Europa y Japón -donde ofrece en Tokyo, un concierto extraordinario- y actuaciones por doquier en conciertos y festivales. Incorpora a su grupo al saxofonista Charlie Rouse (1959-1970); alguna que otra vez actúa en big band y a partir de 1961 toca sobre todo en cuarteto. En 1971, tras una hospitalización, aceptó unirse a una gira europea del grupo "The Giants Of Jazz" junto a Dizzy Gillespie y Art Blakey entre otros. Finalmente grabó con Blakey y el bajista, Al McKibbon y también a piano solo, en una sola session en Londres tres magníficos álbumes que luego resultarían ser sus últimos discos. En efecto, al año siguiente, en 1972, después de muy escasas apariciones, se retira y se encierra en el mutismo hasta su muerte en 1982. Sin dar explicaciones a nadie, debió decidir que estaba cansado y no volvió a parecer mas en publico. Los diez años que todavía vivió los pasó encerrado en su casa o temporalmente en casa de su protectora la baronesa "Nica". Algunas visitas por su cumpleaños de sus amigos, especialmente Charlie Rouse, transcurrían en el silencio mas absoluto. Finalmente una hemorragia cerebral el 17 de febrero de 1982 puso fin a su vida en el Hospital de Englewood de New Jersey, pero no a su historia. Thelonious Sphere Monk, sigue viviendo en su música.

So, the 200th podcast.  I remember a couple of years ago when the 100th ticked past, it happened to be a Toad Session, and as those are pre-recorded with little idea when they'll fit into the sequence of Toadcasts I never really marked the milestone in any sort of a way. This time around I was very much conscious of it, but still couldn't really think of a way to make it interesting and, on Thursday night, with no real plan, I just sat down to have a go at editing a compilation consisting of at least one swear word from each podcast.  It took fucking hours, and in fact had to be finished over a combination of Saturday and Sunday evening, which is the reason the podcast is so late this week. For some reason though, it seems kind of fitting, because in amongst the swearing there are some bits and pieces which remind me of events now quite a surprisingly long way in the past.  We have the first Toad Session, the first time Mrs. Toad joined me on a podcast, various long-forgotten birthdays, the passing of the legendary Floyd and all sorts of other things.  The kind of things, in short, which make this whole load of bollocks a lot more personal than just a music blog and a record label. 01.

This week, James, Jerah, and Jon are diving into the new film from writer/director Cord Jefferson, American Fiction. Adapted from Percival Everett's 2001 novel Erasure, the film tracks the novelist Thelonius 'Monk' Ellison (Jeffrey Wright)'s turn from a struggling writer and academic into an overnight sensation when his latest book, a send up of stereotypical "Black pain" narratives published under a pseudonym a la Sapphire's Push, lands him the biggest success of his career. The film also stars Tracee Ellis-Ross, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown.SUBSCRIBE TO EXCLUSIVE CONTENT AND OUR BACK CATALOG OF 400+ EPISODES: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/7655b7ec-dc57-47c9-ab96-1a8fa02f6573/exclusive-contentSUPPORT BLACK MEN CAN'T JUMP [IN HOLLYWOOD] ON PATREON:https://www.patreon.com/BMCJFOLLOW BLACK MEN CAN'T JUMP [IN HOLLYWOOD]:https://twitter.com/blackmenpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/blackmenpodcastBUY BLACK MEN CAN'T JUMP [IN HOLLYWOOD] MERCH:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/black-men-can-t-jump-in-hollywoodProduced by Skyler HanrathOur Sponsors:* Check out Earnin and use my code Jump for a great deal: https://www.earnin.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/black-men-cant-jump-in-hollywood/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
