The 1960s and 1970s
Donald Macleod and Brian Priestley look at the late 1950s to the 1970s, a period when Thelonious Monk's reputation blossomed, at home in New York, and internationally.
Donald Macleod and guest Brian Priestley continue their celebration of the centenary of jazz legend Thelonious Monk. Today's programme charts Monk's career from the late 1950s to the 1970s, a period during which Monk had huge successes with a residency at the Five Spot Caf茅, legendary concerts at New York's Carnegie and Town Halls, and a 1971 visit to London...
