Episode 36-Thelonious Monk:Wrong is Right-Part One
49:43

Steve BraunginnHOST
Let me ask you Thelonious, what does that do for the business? Why don't you talk a little bit about the business that's going on now to help reboost monk jr
T
49:59Thelonious Monk IVGUEST
yeah what's really cool about just monk's catalog is that the music that he wrote was truly timeless so a lot of what our job or our duties are in 2026 or in this modern era are just really trying to figure out the best ways to repackage this these timeless projects and make it more presentable and accessible to like a newer generation.
T
50:23Thelonious Monk IVGUEST
So a lot of what we're doing is really that process, right? There's a lot of these tunes and whether it's songs or recordings or live performances, all this stuff happened, was recorded before I was even born.
T
50:36Thelonious Monk IVGUEST
So a lot of it is curating it and thoughtfully releasing it in a way that doesn't oversaturate the market, but also allows our fan base to really build up a larger understanding and just really understanding of who Monk was as a composer and also as a pianist.
T
51:01Thelonious Monk IVGUEST
A lot of what My research has, I used to hear the stories a lot as a kid about my grandfather being quite eccentric and stuff.
T
51:10Thelonious Monk IVGUEST
And I'd have to juxtapose that with the stuff that my father would tell me about him being like a family guy.
T
51:16Thelonious Monk IVGUEST
And it's really allowed me to see past a lot of the noise and just kind of appreciate him for.
