There really isn't much to say; the music speaks for itself. Thelonious Monk is the greatest jazz pianist of all time. His halting, idiosyncratic style will never be matched, nor will his ability to improvise while keeping the groove together. Here's a sampling of his classic songs; his work as an accompanying musician with other jazz legends is just as good.
Blue Monk
'Round About Midnight (Dave Chappelle's personal favorite)
Epistrophy
Good call Jake.
