#56 Thelonius Monk - Brilliant Corners

Email us your complaints (or questions / comments) at [email protected] Monk felt misunderstood for most of his career, but had a breakthrough on Brilliant Corners. The boys discuss notoriously difficult songs, an all-star backing band, and what it's like to be clenching your jaw through Take 24 in the recording studio.
