onk or no Monk?

Thelonious is simply a jazz musician who, from the piano, recreates the Universe with the help of his dear Sarah, who gives voice to his world and creativity: There are also the musicians of the band who intervene and modify that world.

And what happens then?

All that coming and going of musical notes and musicians are dropped into a whirlwind of lines and graphics, of crazy staves and inks turned into sounds: A challenge to every reader who likes to look with their ears at the explosive Big Bang of a Great Band!!

Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins

The long-awaited first full biography of legendary jazz saxophonist and composer Sonny Rollins.

The story of Sonny Rollins—innovative, unpredictable, larger than life—is the story of jazz itself, and Sonny’s own narrative is as timeless and timely as the art form he represents. Part jazz oral history told in the musicians’ own words, part chronicle of one man’s quest for social justice and spiritual enlightenment, this is the definitive biography of one of the most enduring and influential artists in jazz and American history.
