The virtually important jazz musicians ar the ones world Health Organization ar successful in creating their possess original universe of music with its own rules, system of logic, and surprises. Thelonious Monk, world Health Organization was criticized by observers wHO failed to listen to his music on its possess footing, suffered through a decennary of neglect earlier he was on the spur of the moment acclaimed as a genius; his music had not changed one second in the interim. In fact, one of the more than singular aspects of Monk's music was that it was in full formed by 1947 and he saw no need to castrate his acting or compositional style in the slightest during the future 25 days.

Thelonious Monk grew up in New York, started acting pianissimo when he was around fin, and had his first job touring as an accompanyist to an gospeller. He was divine by the Harlem stride pianists (James II P. Johnson was a neighbor) and vestiges of that idiomatic expression throne be heard in his by and by unaccompanied solos. However, when he was acting in the house band of Minton's Playhouse during 1940-1943, Monk was searching for his possess single panache. Private recordings from the period get him sometimes resembling Teddy Wilson merely starting to use more than innovative rhythms and harmonies. He worked with Lucky Millinder a bit in 1942 and was with the Cootie Williams Orchestra concisely in 1944 (Thomas Lanier Williams recorded Monk's "Epistrophy" in 1942 and in 1944 was the first gear to track record "'Round Midnight"), merely it was when he became Coleman Hawkins' even piano player that Monk was initially noticed. He hack a few titles with Hawkins (his recording debut) and, although some of Hawkins' fans complained about the eccentric piano player, the veteran soldier tenor could signified the pianist's wideness.

The 1945-1954 stop was very difficult for Thelonious Monk. Because he left a lot of space in his rhythmic solos and had an strange technique, many people thought that he was an subscript pianist. His compositions were so advanced that the lazier bebop players (although non Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker) fictive that he was half-baked. And Thelonious Monk's mention, show (he liked laughable hats), and personality (an at times incommunicative introvert) helped to brand him as some kind of nut. Fortunately, Alfred Lion of Blue Note believed in him and recorded Monk extensively during 1947-1948 and 1951-1952. He besides recorded for Prestige during 1952-1954, had a solo set for Vogue in 1954 during a visit to Paris, and appeared on a Verve date with Bird and Diz. But influence was very sporadic during this epoch and Monk had to contend to make ends meet.

His fortunes slow began to improve. In 1955, he gestural with Riverside and producer Orrin Keepnews persuaded him to record an album of Duke Ellington tunes and one of standards so his euphony would come along to be more than accessible to the intermediate jazz fan. In 1956 came the classical Brilliant Corners album, simply it was the following year when the situation for good changed. Monk was booked into the Five Spot for a long engagement and he used a quartette that featured tenor saxist John Coltrane. Finally, the critics and then the jazz populace accepted Thelonious Monk's enormousness during this important gig. The fact that he was unique was a disadvantage a few years before when all modernistic jazz pianists were expected to effectual like Bud Powell (world Health Organization was ironically a close friend), simply by 1957 the malarkey public was looking at for a new overture. Suddenly, Monk was a fame and his status would non change for the remainder of his life history. In 1958, his quartette featured the tenor of Johnny Griffin (wHO was regular more compatible than Coltrane), in 1959 he appeared with an orchestra at Town Hall (with arrangements by Hall Overton), in 1962 he signed with Columbia and 2 geezerhood later was on the brood of Time. A second orchestra concert in 1963 was even better than the first base and Monk toured invariably throughout the 1960s with his quartet which featured the reliable tenor of Charlie Rouse. He played with the Giants of Jazz during 1971-1972, but and then in 1973 dead retired. Monk was hurt from mental sickness and, other than a few special appearances during the mid-'70s, he lived the rest of his life in privacy. After his death it seemed as if everyone was doing Thelonious Monk tributes. There were so many versions of "'Round Midnight" that it was practically a pop up hit! But disdain the posthumous acclaim and attempts by pianists ranging from Marcus Roberts to Tommy Flanagan to hearten his style, on that point was no replacement for the original.

Some of Thelonious Monk's songs became standards early on, to the highest degree notably "'Round Midnight," "Straight No Chaser," "52nd Street Theme," and "Downcast Monk." Many of his former compositions get by now been figured out by other jazz musicians and ar from time to time performed including "Ruby My Dear," "Well You Needn't," "Off Minor," "In Walked Bud," "Misterioso," "Epistrophy," "I Mean You," "4 in One," "Criss Cross," "Require Me Now," "Small Rootie Tootie," "Monk's Dream," "Bemsha Swing," "Think of One," "Fri the 13th," "Hackensack," "Around the bend," "Brilliant Corners," "Dusk With Nellie" (written for his strong and supportive wife), "Evidence," and "Rhythm-a-Ning," Virtually all of Monk's recordings (for Blue Note, Prestige, Vogue, Riverside, Columbia, and Black Lion) experience been reissued and among his sidemen through the years were Idrees Sulieman, Art Blakey, Milt Jackson, Lou Donaldson, Lucky Thompson, Max Roach, Julius Watkins, Sonny Rollins, Clark Terry, Gerry Mulligan, John Coltrane, Wilbur Ware, Shadow Wilson, Johnny Griffin, Donald Byrd, Phil Woods, Thad Jones, and Charlie Rouse. His boy Thelonious Monk, Jr. (T.S. Monk) has helped maintain the strong bebop tradition animated with his five and has headed the Thelonious Monk Institute, whose yearly competitions come after in publicizing talented young players.

   Genre(s):

Rock

Saracen's discography:

Vox In Excelso

Year: 2006

Tracks: 12

Derbyshire's Saracen were a hard, verging on progressive, rock ensemble that became wrongly associated with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal -- as much due to the timing (1981) of their self-released debut album, Heroes, Saints & Fools, as for their leather jackets and handlebar mustaches. Having said that, the band never tested and true to overtly latch onto the movement's coattails, and were all fine musicians in their possess right, in special vocaliser Steven Bettney, world Health Organization possessed a rich and powerful voice. Completed by Robert Bendelow (guitar), Richard Lowe (keyboards), Barry Yates (bass), and John Thorne (drums), Saracen earned an other business from influential Friday Rock Show presenter Tommy Vance, world Health Organization invited them to record a few wireless sessions and helped bolster their commercial prospects as they readied new single "No More Lonely Nights" in 1982. This, along with subsequent releases for the Neat label (the Change of Heart album and "We Have Arrived" single -- both 1984), showed the mathematical mathematical group moving in a far more commercial direction, toward the accost and synth-laden post-prog AOR of a Kansas or Magnum, to be accurate. Again, not that there was anything faulty with this, lead off for the sad reality that Saracen (now tweaked to feature celluloid guitar player Haydn Conway, bassist Jason Gardner, and drummer Danny Spencer) had little hope of future in that scene of action piece sign-language to metal-specialized Neat. The mathematical group made it to matchless more Friday Rock Show school term before its members vanished from visual modality, with merely Conway resurfacing in 1996, as a member of Son of a Bitch, also featuring tierce ousted members of Saxon.

Upside-Down Photographer Robin Rohde Plays Billiards on Ceiling

Robin Rohde's Empty Pockets (2008).Courtesy of Perry Rubenstein Gallery

If you were to stroll the concrete hoods of some of the poorer sections of South Africa, you'd probably find a few people crouching, poking a big stick at a table full of small red balls. Billiards are apparently the unofficial national pastime of South Africa, played not only in smoky pubs but in the streets, the way scrappy boys play stellar soccer in the favelas of Brazil. They don't play it upside down, however, as Robin Rohde might have us believe in his animated exhibit on show at Perry Rubenstein Gallery through August 13. �Emma Pearse

Spice Girls 'sorry' over cutting tour short

The Spice Girls have apologised for cutting their world tour short after receiving criticism from their fans.
The group previously blamed "family commitments" for the tour ending earlier than scheduled but media reports suggested that the members were fighting with each other.
The Spice Girls recently cancelled dates in Australia, South Africa, China and Argentina.
Mel C said: "There has been a lot of rubbish in the media over the last few days so we wanted you to hear it from the horse's mouth."
"We're very sorry not to be able to get to all the places we wanted to," she said.
Victoria Beckham added: "Our kids need to go back to school and we always said our families are our priorities. Sorry we haven't got to see everybody."
Geri Halliwell said: "The tour's gone actually longer than we anticipated. We thought we were going to go with one gig, that's how it started - then we planned until the end of January, and then we actually extended it."
Mel B addressed rumours of a rift in the camp by saying: "We hate each other? Are you kidding? We love each other."

Justin Timberlake Might Like Making People Laugh In 'Love Guru,' But He'll Never Abandon His 'First Love'

Blame "D--- in a Box." Justin Timberlake has put his day job aside once again to concentrate on films, but hey, at least he's giving you something to smile about this time around.

"I do love to make people laugh," Timberlake said. "My favorite thing to do when I was a kid was to make my parents laugh. I'd always goof around the house and do stuff like that. And to actually have that as a job, I feel pretty lucky."

This time, that job has him stepping into the role of porn-'stached hockey star Jacque "Le Coq" Grande in the comedy "The Love Guru," also starring Mike Myers and Jessica Alba. In the film, Timberlake's character is famous for being well-endowed — a far cry from his past roles, including the dramas "Edison," "Alpha Dog," "Southland Tales" and "Black Snake Moan," as well as the animated family comedy "Shrek the Third."

"I'd say I'm not strong in either [genre]," Timberlake said of drama vs. comedy. "I don't know why people keep giving me jobs, but I am going to take them."

JT doesn't have to choose sides for his next film project, one that puts him alongside "Big Lebowski" star Jeff Bridges. "It's actually the first film that's really a dramedy," Timberlake said. "It really has both elements of comedy and drama. It's kind of a slice-of-life type of film, and it's called 'The Open Road.' Jeff and I play father and son."

The actor formerly known as "The Dude" (and the summer's biggest bad guy, thanks to "Iron Man") didn't share White Russians with the 27-year-old in between takes, but life imitated art in another way: Bridges was a father figure for Timberlake on- and offscreen.

"He is, without a doubt, my favorite actor I've ever worked with," Timberlake said. "He is the best. To work with somebody who's been doing it that well for so long — and still to be so collaborative and into it as much as I was — I looked at that and said, 'I want to be you when I grow up.' "

Even though Timberlake has put his musical mindset on pause since FutureSex/LoveSounds, he admitted, "I don't think I could ever give up music. I think that's my first love."

Now the singer is showing his charitable side during his current downtime. "I'm actually working with some of my artists in the studio," he said. "It's kind of fun to help other people realize their craft. ... I see so much of myself in them when I first started in the studio. It's nice to be able to pass on the little bit I've learned."

Check out everything we've got on "The Love Guru."

Fan pays €25,500 for Johansson date

A bidder on auction website eBay has paid $40,100 (€25,500) for a date with Scarlett Johansson.
The actress auctioned off a chance to be her guest at the premiere of her new film, 'He's Just Not That Into You', in aid of Oxfam.
Bidding for the date began at less than $1, but climbed to over $40,000 in just 10 days.
The winner, who is from the UK, will be brought to the event in a chauffeur-driven limousine to join the star on the red carpet. He or she can also bring a guest with them. After the screening, Johansson will hand her date a personal handwritten note.
However, it is unlikely any further romance will develop as the 23-year-old star is currently dating actor Ryan Reynolds.

"Thom sounds beautiful singing it, it was amazing, such a buzz."

Utley also revealed that Portishead, who released their long awaited album 'Third' earlier this year, had no more plans for 2008.
