Thelonious Monk

Not a fan exactly but i`ve got a CD of his with John Coltrane live at Carnegie Hall back in the 50s and its very good.
 
I listened to a bit of Miles Davis when I was at Uni and pretended to like it in a vain attempt to impress some arty birds, but I've never really warmed to jazz. Since I got this Thelonious Monk CD though, I've been listening to it over and over. It's really good if you go into it with an open mind.
