His name, even, is part of the marketing scheme, I mean, Thelonious Sphere Monk - how can you think of a better name to fit his style of playing?

The first jazz pianist I heard was Thelonious Monk. My father was listening to an album of his called 'Monk's Dream' almost every day from the time I was born.

I went through the whole number, you know. The swing era, the boogie woogie era, the bebop era. Thelonious Monk is still one of my favorites. So a lot of these people had their effect on me.

The more original something is, the more of a threat it seems until the people catch up with it. That happened with Thelonious Monk. It happened with anybody who is really original.

Style
Style must not be underrated
Style is often overlooked
Style is never in the papers
I read it like an open book
Style
If you cant see the substance
Style shows how its organized
Style is looking for your money
Its in the way you paint your eyes
There is always a way
A way things are done
Ive been learning my abcs
I know what is 10, I know what is 1 in
Style is a naked look
Underneath your style
Style of a different place
Talking through your style
Even the way you hide it
Reveals the thing you hide
Your style may never cause a riot
Its still a style to have no style
There is always a way
To light up a lamp
Its been a crazy year all around
The check never came
I cant let it cramp my
Style is a world for sale
You cant buy this style
Style that you cant resist
You wont cramp my style

The Scheme
Parting a friendship entails loss of feeling, bereavement and sad loss, it is the scheme,
We fight forever as hearts entwined, a sadness has overcome us, it is the scheme.
My dispute lies in the warning given to my brain, too soft, too poignant,
Since the power of the cold weather is upon us like a boss, it is the scheme.
Upstairs it rains from the clouds into my apartment if going was easy enough,
How do sentences disappear, and reappear for the chaos, is it the scheme?
Are not powers greater than what is shared, the bought product is used well,
Like no other, as it is a sequence of flight that is a sauce, it is the scheme.
My teeth have powerful roots, like the family and country, angering our youth,
Who see the world as fortune and gold and mines of silver, their ethos and scheme.
Why on this planet do we encounter pain all too resenting and unkind?
Because my friends part for open learning and they give no toss, it is a scheme.

I have been robbed of three million dollars all told. Everyone today is playing my stuff and I don't even get credit. Kansas City style, Chicago style, New Orleans style hell, they're all Jelly Roll style.

Never Given Their Just Due Attention
Alerts to avert impending disasters,
To prepare those listening to be more aware...
Are never given their just due attention.
People facing the naturalness of them,
Often dismiss such warnings...
As announcements of upcoming sales,
Being offered to promote a marketing scheme.

Antarctica
Antarctica -- antarctica
Antarctica -- antarctica
Ice age is here, right in your town
Antarctica, look what youve done
And i, I feel like Ive cheated your scheme
And i, I feel like you really know what I mean
Nightfalls heartbeat, the streets in a mess
On reflector, the beach is endless
And i, I feel like Ive cheated your scheme
And i, I feel like you really know what I mean
Its my turn -- its my turn
Antarctica -- antarctica
No day, no night, and always the sound
Ice pressure ? ? (antarctica)
Its me thats found
And i, I feel like Im really part of your scene
And i, I feel like you know what I mean
Pictures moving, and always the whirls
Antarctica, where are you now (antartica)
And i, I feel like Im really part of your scheme
And i, I feel like youre losing your dream
Antarctica -- antarctica
Antarctica -- antarctica
And i, I feel like you know what I mean
And i, I feel like Im really lost in your seam
Its my turn -- its my turn
Its my turn -- its my turn
Its my turn -- its my turn
