If jazz is America’s art form, then Thelonious Monk, is America’s composer. Go deeper than the hat, beard and sunglasses, beyond the dancing and the end-of-life reclusion, and the history and spirit of this country come through in each of his propulsive chords and inimitable melodies. Here, pianist Barry Harris reflects on how Monk’s music shaped generations of players and redefined modern jazz. From the documentary “Thelonious Monk: American Composer” for the first time on QWEST TV. Link in bio

John Coltrane's modal experiments in albums like Africa/Brass and My Favorite Things stretched harmony, embraced drones, repetition, and non-Western influences. 🎷 These elements caught the ears of early minimalists like Terry Riley and Steve Reich, who drew from modal jazz and Coltrane’s intensity to shape a new sound world. Coltrane became a bridge between jazz and the avant-garde, opening doors that composers and musicians are still walking through today. Watch the full documentary on QWEST T

His daring reimagining remains a landmark in the history of popular music. Watch he

Jazz fusion wouldn’t be the same without Jack DeJohnette, the drumming maestro who worked extensively alongside the likes of Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Schofield, Charles Lloyd, Kieth Jarrett, Bill Evans, Alice Coltrane … the list goes on. A veritable hall of famer, DeJohnette sat down with Qwest TV for a conversation that spanned all things, from cartoons to love-making. We know very well that for DeJohnette to name an all-star band, he would only have to reach back into his memories and
