Thelonious Sphere Monk (October 10, 1917 – February 17, 1982) was a jazz pianist and composer.
Monk had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire (including his classic works "'Round Midnight" and "Blue Monk"). He is often regarded as a founder of bebop, although his playing style evolved away from the form. His compositions and improvisations are full of dissonant harmonies and angular melodic twists, and are impossible to separate from Monk's unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of silences and hesitations.

Hello,
My name is Emily Walker. I am inviting you to participate in a very special project. I am embarking on an artistic journey (so to speak) through the words, photos or artwork from myself and people around the world. I would like to find out the varying views of what love is from people who live all over the world.
My goal of this journey is to show society in general that no matter how many differences we have whether they be religious,
political, cultural, lifestyle or the many other reasons that separate us we all have shared one emotion in one form or another~
Love.
I would also like to raise funds for children’s charity. For further information about the charity please contact me personally via e-mail~ sweet_emmee@yahoo.com
Please join me in making a difference even if it a small one. By sharing your words, artwork or photos of what represents love to you. If you choose to not participate
Please give the book to a family member, friend or a random stranger to keep the love going.

Thanks for the add. This is by J. Otis Powell! Then in a cloud of white powder blown in from just the other side of the Mason Dixon line a self-possessed Bird flew in talking ‘bout cop this fools! And Dizzy said Yeah cats Um Pop A Da; to which Monk responded Tinkle Tinkle on the Hudson if you bad enough. It’s All Blues Miles hissed between eggshell solos and Coltrane cool as he was simply said I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOU. You, me, all of us are the Andoumboulou. We’re still searching for the primordial egg we lost long ago. We’re still searching for our twin. We’re still waiting to find the twin Nommo, the Amma to our Yurugu. I know what you’re thinking: Slow down Mister Give You a Minute and You’ll Take a Millennium I’m still exhausted from living in silhouetted realities and wearing curses like wet blankets draped around my soul. Me too; I’m thinking. I think I heard Sun Ra say I’m ready to rise and I said Yeah, let’s do that! ~J. OP~
