If jazz is America’s art form, then Thelonious Monk, is America’s composer. Go deeper than the hat, beard and sunglasses, beyond the dancing and the end-of-life reclusion, and the history and spirit of this country come through in each of his propulsive chords and inimitable melodies. Here, pianist Barry Harris reflects on how Monk’s music shaped generations of players and redefined modern jazz. From the documentary “Thelonious Monk: American Composer” for the first time on QWEST TV. Link in bio

The Royal Quartet features José Armando Gola (acoustic/electric basses), Roberto Jr. Vizcaino (percussion) and longtime collaborator Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernández (drums). Sitting at the Steinway, Valdés mixes his original tunes

John Coltrane's modal experiments in albums like Africa/Brass and My Favorite Things stretched harmony, embraced drones, repetition, and non-Western influences. 🎷 These elements caught the ears of early minimalists like Terry Riley and Steve Reich, who drew from modal jazz and Coltrane’s intensity to shape a new sound world. Coltrane became a bridge between jazz and the avant-garde, opening doors that composers and musicians are still walking through today. Watch the full documentary on QWEST T
