Two years on from inaugurating this place, I wanted to bring Monk’s ”Round Midnight front-and-center. Working out the transcription in 1989 and recording it into the disklavier in 1993, daily practice recommenced in January to revive it, making possible the recording in March. Like Duke Ellington, Monk’s music and playing is beyond category. Films reflecting some of his essence are Thelonious Monk: American Composer (1991) and Straight No Chaser (1988).
