A brilliant comprehesive look at all known Thelonious Monk performances and recording by well-known discographer, Chris Sheridan.
Woven through the listings of Monk's work is the story of his rise to acceptance as one of the key pianists and composers of jazz and his decline in health and popularity.

It covers all Monk's work in a narrative context and data on essential recordings accompanied by critics' commentary from 1944 to the mid 1970's.

This lists all the issues of Monk's work, all commercially produced films and video of which he had a part, his performances, and a bibliography of books and periodicals of interest.
