Story: The music of Thelonious Monk was as unique-sounding as his name, from the humorous and inventive genius of his compositions, to the remarkable idiosyncrasies in his piano-playing. As one of America’s greatest twentieth-century composers, from the 1940s and onward his music was performed by virtually all the top names in jazz. However, a series of random conflicts with racist law enforcement officials slowed his performing career until the 1960s, by which time a new young jazz audience was ready to make him their own. Stars: Monk had a grand trine configuration in his natal chart, involving his Sun in Libra, Uranus retrograde in Aquarius and Jupiter retrograde in Gemini. Astrology demonstrates how transits involving the planets in his grand trine coincided with times when Monk had to overcome tremendous adversity. |
