Augustin BONDOUX / Patrick FReMEAUX Thelonious Monk is one of the greatest pianists of the last century, a musical genius who shook up conventions and took jazz composition to new heights. Transgressive and uncompromising, his art is timeless, unrivalled if not unparalleled.

A fabulous musician, a brilliant writer and a graduate of the Ecole Normale Superieure, Laurent de Wilde embodies his story with style and rigor. An excellent biographer and pedagogue, the author appeals to all audiences, enabling them to understand and appreciate even more the music of an uncompromising artist.
