Description: Hi! You're looking at a BRAND NEW and UNREAD condition book which is OUT OF PRINT in hardcover form and the definitive biography of jazz pianist and composer THELONIOUS MONK written by ROBIN D. G. KELLEY--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST EDITION and FIRST PRINTING and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $30.00 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap. The book has a very slight ding on the lower spine tip and a small price sticker on the lower center of the back surface and is in PERFECT shape otherwise! The book is titled By Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original and it was written by ROBIN D. G. KELLEY; it was published by Free Press in November 2009 and is a STATED 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2.Thelonious Monk is the critically acclaimed, gripping saga of an artist’s struggle to “make it” without compromising his musical vision. It is a story that, like its subject, reflects the tidal ebbs and flows of American history in the twentieth century.To his fans, he was the ultimate hipster; to his detractors, he was temperamental, eccentric, taciturn, or childlike. His angular melodies and dissonant harmonies shook the jazz world to its foundations, ushering in the birth of “bebop” and establishing Monk as one of America’s greatest composers.Elegantly written and rich with humor and pathos, Thelonious Monk is the definitive work on modern jazz’s most original composer. A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
