Round Midnight
Description
"Round Midnight" was composed by Thelonious Monk, at the age of 19, in the early 1940s. It is certainly the most played and most recorded standard in jazz history. An iconic monument, a ballad concentrating lyricism, melancholy, romanticism, not devoid of a little sensuality, all giving an impression of simplicity and fluidity. Monk, himself, was perhaps the most unsettling pianist there was. One who could never be pigeonholed – neither entirely stride, nor entirely bebop – always a step aside or rather a step ahead, but who, like Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, definitively marked the history of jazz piano.Buy Round Midnight at the best price
