Monk is the second-most recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington, which is particularly remarkable as Ellington composed over 1,000 songs while Monk wrote about 70.
Dammit, I missed the opportunity to drink a 750ml bottle of this beer in his honor. I guess I'll just have to have a belated birthday beer today instead.
