  • T. S. Monk (born Thelonious Sphere Monk, Jr. , December 27, 1949, New York, United States) is a jazz drummer, composer and bandleader. He began his music career early in his life, honing his skills throughout the 1970s. By the dawning of the 1980s, he had formed his eponymous band, which featured him on drums and occasional lead vocals. The group's début album, 1980's House of Music featured several hits that placed on the Billboard R&B chart, including "Bon Bon Vie (Gimme the Good Life)" (which featured Monk on lead vocals) and "Candidate for Love. " The band went on to release two more albums throughout the early 1980s, though singles released from these albums did not fare as well as those on the début. The band broke up shortly thereafter. By the 1990s, Monk was ready to begin his solo career, in which he has taken a decidedly more jazz-oriented direction. He is the son of Thelonious Monk.
  • Thelonious Sphere „T. S. “ Monk, Jr. ist ein amerikanischer Jazz-Schlagzeuger, Perkussionist und Komponist des Post Bop. Monk hatte sein Bühnen-Debüt mit zehn Jahren an der Seite seines Vaters Thelonious Monk. Nachdem er eine Zeit seines Berufslebens außerhalb des Jazz arbeitete, gründete Monk in den 1980er Jahren eine eigene Formation, in der er auch als Sänger wirkte. Das 1980 entstandene Debütalbum, House of Music enthielt einige Hits, die in den R&B Charts erfolgreich waren, wie Bon Bon Vie (Gimme the Good Life) oder Candidate for Love. In den 1990er Jahren wandte sich Monk neben den eher Funk-orientierten Aufnahmen mit seiner regulären Band dem Werk seines Vaters zu und rekapitulierte dabei den Sound der klassischen Hard Bop Aufnahmen des Blue Note Labels. Dies gelang ihm insbesondere mit dem Album Monk on Monk, das er 1997 mit Gastmusikern wie Clark Terry, Arturo Sandoval, Roy Hargrove, John Clark, Bobby Watson, Wayne Shorter, Jimmy Heath, Howard Johnson, Geri Allen, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Dave Holland, Christian McBride, Kevin Mahogany und Dianne Reeves aufnahm und das ausschließlich den Kompositionen seines Vaters gewidmet war. Monks Schlagzeugstil ist von Max Roach und Tony Williams beeinflusst.
