Idiosyncratic pianist, composer, and arranger (1917–1982) who takes a place among the most innovative and influential figures of modern jazz. Magazine cover from the February 28, 1964, issue of Time, signed in blue ballpoint, “Good luck always, Thelonious Monk.” In fine condition, with scattered light creases and a mailing label affixed to lower left corner. Despite the beginning of the British invasion, jazz was at the forefront of the American music scene, with the article crediting Monk for helping to bring jazz out of the swing era. Any signed images on Monk are quite scarce, with this image used specifically created for the cover by Boris Chaliapin. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
