Thelonius Sphere Monk
Thelonius Sphere MONK (1917-1982).
Programme for the Thelonius Monk Quartet’s tour of Japan, 1965, signed and inscribed by Thelonius Monk. Inscribed in blue ballpoint pen on the centre left page 'Good luck always, Thelonius Monk' and additionally signed by the other members of the quartet - tenorist Charlie Rouse, drummer Ben Riley and bassist Larry Gales - each on their respective page.
Biographer D.G. Kelley writes: ‘Monk had a longstanding interest in Japan. In 1955, he told David Amram that a time would come in the near future when we will have “Japanese jazz”, so long as people around the world find their own path… [Art] Blakey and the Jazz Messenger’s tour [in January 1961] marked the first wave in what would become a veritable tsunami of American jazz artists to cross the Pacific. Indeed, the locals dubbed the period from 1961 to 1964 as the “rainichi” rush, which literally means “come to Japan”’. Kelly, 337.
Square quarto (285 x 285 mm). Wire-stitched in original wrappers printed in red, yellow, black and white.
