		It's the music store that's a cavernous waste of space, with nowhere near Music Boulevard's selection and a zillion times the expenses.

		The music of Thelonious Monk could be considered a religion; a religion so groundbreaking that it takes time for it to mature into what we accept it as now.
		With the credibility that he felt was necessary, T.S. Monk finally released "Monk on Monk", an enhanced CD that is his first project for the N2K Encoded music label.
		Possibly the most (musically) quotable songwriter and pianist in history, his influences continue to withstand the weathers of time.

	Augusta Georgia: technology@ugusta: Music over the Internet 6/5/97
		Purveyors of pre-recorded music have always been reluctant to change their ways, fearful of new technology that threatens their existing manufacturing and distribution patterns.
		More recently, the music industry staunchly blocked a bright notion by Blockbuster to download music over phone lines, to be custom-recorded on a CD in-store.

		Before N2K grew into what was billed as the first "Internet Music Entertainment Company," its sole focus was Jazz Central Station, whose initial goal was to create a comprehensive destination for the entire global online jazz community.

	In Music We Trust - Tories, The: Wonderful Life
		It's so over-crowded, and has a reputation for being dirty and smoggy, yet this quartet is able to pull off pop music with a positive vibe.
		It just goes to show that some bands put as much time into their lyrics as they do their music, which is a really nice thing to see.
		The title track shows the band in a softer atmosphere, but they are still able to keep the hooks plentiful and the listener happy.

		The rhythmic unpredictability, angularity, dynamic subtlety and percussiveness of his work have roots in Earl Hines' piano style, and his use of dissonance is reminiscent of both Hines and Duke Ellington.

		Renowned producer Phil Ramone was an early admirer of the band, impressed by The Tories' defiance of prevailing musical trends.
		As label president for the newly created N2K Encoded Music imprint, Ramone quickly wooed The Tories to the nascent label's roster, even as the group's adrenalized onstage delivery was winning new converts on a daily basis.

		But Monk's music goes from funny to tragic, and often can be heard in more than one way, Davis said.
		T.S. Monk's tour follows his "Monk on Monk" (N2K Encoded Music), an all-star salute to his father's music with guest spots from pianists Herbie Hancock and Danilo Perez, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, trumpeters Roy Hargrove and Wallace Roney and bassist Ron Carter.
		If Monk's music were only difficult, he'd be about as popular as Cecil Taylor and Herbie Nichols, two gifted but obscure pianists who have made very difficult music.
