Thelonious Monk\u2019s NFT collection honours his important legacy<\/span><\/h2>\n

Thelonious Monk is one of the greatest Jazz musicians of all time and is a pioneer of modern Jazz and the bebop genre. He was a Grammy Award winning artist and is only one of five jazz artists to feature on the front of Time magazine. Furthermore, he is the second most recorded jazz arranger in music history after Duke Ellington.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, with the approval of his estate, including his son, the artist T.S Monk, there is an NFT collection to celebrate his extraordinary life. Javier Arr\u00e9s is a world-famous motion and GIF artist. His focus for this NFT collection is exploring themes of revolution. Likewise, it pays tribute to Monk\u2019s great legacy and ongoing impact in the world of Jazz.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA city is something that you build. Javier has built a city around Thelonious that directly addresses Monk\u2019s quest to develop a performative experience of Duke Ellington\u2019s \u2018Sophisticated Lady.\u2019 Both creative endeavours blend to create a cohesive body of work, which can only be described as sophisticated,\u201d says T.S. Monk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Javier will provide his interpretation of Monk\u2019s legacy and what the album cover means to him.<\/span> The Thelonious Monk NFT collection also features a never before heard Thelonious Monk audio. This also includes a message from his son, T.S. Monk.<\/span><\/p>\n
