Thelonious Monk 8×10″ charcoal on paper, framed by the artist

I love charcoal drawing and the architecture of Monk’s face and the way his eyes dart to the left. What is he thinking as he plays?

Continued . . .

Thelonious MonkThelonious Sphere Monk[3] (/θəˈloʊniəs/, October 10, 1917[4] – February 17, 1982) was an American jazz pianist and composer. He had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington.[5]

Monk's compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and are consistent with his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of switched key releases, silences, and hesitations.
