Great way to discover Thelonious Monk's work and life. Solid introduction to this artist.
I enjoyed reading this graphic biography while listening to his music.
I didn't know Monk before, and I'm not well-acquainted with jazz, but I really enjoyed his music. Perfect reading companion.

catsuit_mango You might have given me the best gift idea for my partner... Now i need to search the flat to make sure the book did not already appear without me noticing ;) thanks 1w
Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @catsuit_mango Great! Glad it helped ;) It can be hard to choose gifts. 6d
catsuit_mango @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader after i had ordered it, i found it hidden in a pile somewhere in the flat... :( sent it back but that was a very good idea ;) 50m

Another great graphic novel find from my library! This novel capture the wild, improvisational nature of jazz and Thelonious Monk's unconventional mind.

The long and loving friendship between Monk and heiress, Pannonica De Koenigswarter is highlighted. I wonder where music would be today if these two had not found each other.
