Thelonious Monk was born 10 October 1917 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, growing up in New York City. He began playing piano when he was six and was initially influenced by both the masterful stride pianist James P. Johnson and the influential swing stylist Teddy Wilson. Monk’s first professional job was going on the road with an evangelist, accompanying her sermons. He was a member of the house band at Minton’s Playhouse during 1940–43, participating in many jam sessions that helped lead to the music soon called ‘bebop’.
