Monk's Dream


A man and his music. So often these things are so far removed from one another which is why so often people can dislike musicians personally but engage with them very strongly through their music.

As an artist I understand that the art is inevitable an extension of the self for so many of our lot and for many of us it's impossible to remove our minds and focus from our art.

Thelonious Monk is an artist of this caliber and he inspired me greatly. This isn't meant to be a portrait but merely an attempt to catch the man and his musical space on a very limited scale.
