This week's episode of WNPM is about a true original, Thelonious Monk.  Monk was instrumental in the birth of bebop, as the house pianist at Minton's Playhouse, where the style was developed, yet unlike some of his Minton's contemporaries-especially Bird and Diz-it took a long time for a wider audience to appreciate his work.  Nonetheless, Monk continued to play and to compose beautiful, unusual, eclectic, eccentric music, and put together a body of work that stands today as testament to his genius.
