"Leslie Gourse has splendidly told the astonishing and thoroughly American story of a towering figure in the pantheon of our nation's artists. Based on her original research, interviews with Monk's family, friends and associates, and a wide variety of secondary materials, Gourse's impressive achievement will long serve as an essential source for future biographers."---W. Royal Stokes. "Percy Heath, the bassist in the Modern Jazz Quartet, had been in New York for only about six years in 1954 when he recorded with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk for the Prestige label. It thrilled Heath to be with 'all those great cats,' he remarked. "My mother used to call Monk 'the onliest.' She got mixed up with his name Thelonious. I told her he sure was 'the onliest.'"
