Thelonious Monk was an American jazz pianist and composer, born on October 10, 1917 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. He is widely recognized as one of the most influential pianists of the twentieth century and a key figure in the development of bebop. Monk's unique improvisational style and prolific compositions have left a lasting impact on the jazz genre. Known for his dissonant harmonies, angular melodic twists, and unconventional approach to the piano, he created music that was both innovative and captivating.

In addition to his musical talents, Monk had a distinct fashion sense with his signature suits, hats, and sunglasses. His stage presence was equally unconventional; often getting up from his piano to dance while his band members continued playing. This idiosyncratic behavior drew comparisons to ring-shout and Muslim Sufi whirling. Notably, Monk is one of only five jazz musicians to be featured on the cover of Time magazine.

Thelonious Monk passed away on February 17, 1982 at the age of 64 in Weehawken, New Jersey. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy as an artist who pushed boundaries and redefined jazz music through his groundbreaking compositions and performances.

Remastered 50th anniversary edition. Who's Next is the fifth studio album by The Who, released on 14 August 1971. Its origins lie in an abortive multi-media rock opera written by chief songwriter Pete Townshend called Lifehouse. The album was commercially and critically successful, and became the only one by the group to top the UK charts. "Baba O'Riley" makes a spectacular opener, with a hypnotic drone disrupted by power chords that are parachuted in off the backs of meteorites. Dave Arbus' subtle then frantic viola solo raises it another gear. There has rarely been a more durably evocative refrain than "teenage wasteland". As ever, Daltrey's ragged voice brings humanity to Townshend's over-thinking. Moon is typically hyperactive: any drummer playing like this today would be ordered to rein it in. "Bargain" floats on the tension between acoustic guitar and the brave new synth. Like most of the album, it's melodramatic without - as with later Who - fattening into pomposity. "The Song is Over" oozes poignancy and 'Getting in Tune' and 'Going Mobile' are simply great songs. "Behind Blue Eyes" is a soul-searching ballad which bursts into belligerence, reflective then urgent. The climactic "Won't Get Fooled Again" stretches itself and chews its restraints until it becomes much more than a riff and a scream. It's on fire. In "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" it nailed the bleeding heart of protest-pop.10CD SDE: Atmos/5.1 Mix/Stereo, Life House Graphic Novel (170 Pages) I * Previously released with new remix ** Previously unreleased tracksCD ONE: WHO’S NEXT (Remastered)CD TWO: PETE TOWNSHEND'S LIFE HOUSE DEMOS 1970 - 1971 – PART 1CD THREE: PETE TOWNSHEND'S LIFE HOUSE DEMOS 1970 – 1971 – PART 2CD FOUR: RECORD PLANT, NYC SESSIONS MARCH 1971CD FIVE: OLYMPIC SOUND STUDIOS, LONDON SESSIONS 1970-72CD SIX: SINGLES &amp; SESSIONS 1970-72CD SEVEN: LIVE AT THE YOUNG VIC, LONDON – APRIL 26, 1971CD EIGHT: LIVE AT THE YOUNG VIC, LONDON – APRIL 26, 1971CD NINE: LIVE AT THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM, SAN FRANCISCO – DECEMBER 12, 1971CD TEN: LIVE AT THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM, SAN FRANCISCO – DECEMBER 12, 1971BLU-RAY AUDIO: Steven Wilson Atmos Mix (48kHz 24-bit)** Steven Wilson 5.1 Mix (48kHz 24-bit)** Steven Wilson Stereo Mix (96kHz 24-bit)* Original 1971 Stereo Mix (96kHz 24-bit)Bonus Tracks: Steven Wilson Atmos Mix (48kHz 24-bit) Steven Wilson 5.1 Mix (48kHz 24-bit)
