THELONIOUS MONK: THE BALLADS

THELONIOUS MONK: THE BALLADS

ONLINE WORKSHOP WITH PAUL SILBERGLEIT

While so well known for his eccentricity, bebop innovation, and use of dissonance, the ingenious composer wrote ballads of breathtaking beauty and lyricism, including such gems as "Ask Me Now," "Reflections," and the monumental "'Round Midnight." Join MJI's Paul Silbergleit for an in-depth look at these works, all of which retain some of Monk's characteristic edge along with their exceptional prettiness.

Cost: $15
