Title: Thelonious Monk – ’Round Midnight
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1957, Jazz, Bebop, New York City
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Media Narrative: Riverside marketed Monk as a “discoverable genius,” reframing him from a scene insider into a public-facing artist after years of being misunderstood.

  2. Legal Trouble: A past drug bust cost Monk his cabaret card, limiting NYC club work for years—studio albums became a survival route when live gigs got blocked.

  3. Scene Ecology: This era documents Monk as a bandleader shaping the next generation—sidemen rotated through his groups and left with a new rhythmic language.
