Thelonious Sphere Monk (October 10, 1917 – February 17, 1982) was an American jazz pianist and composer known for his unique improvisational style. He contributed significantly to the jazz repertoire with works like 'Round Midnight,' 'Blue Monk,' and 'Straight, No Chaser.' Monk's compositions are characterized by dissonance and angular melodic twists, reflecting his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined percussive elements with dramatic pauses. Notable for his distinctive clothing and performance habits, he remains an influential figure in jazz, being one of five jazz musicians featured on the cover of Time magazine.
