It’s a family affair on this episode of Milestones as my special guest, drummer/bandleader T.S. Monk joins Milestones for a special 2-part interview and discussion as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Thelonious Monk's 1963 classic Monk's Dream. In Part 1, we discuss Monk’s beginnings as a young drummer and his iconic father’s guiding wisdom as he navigated his now 40+ year career. In this clip, T.S. breaks down how the state of jazz in the late 70s created space for the ingenuity of a generation that helped birth hip hop.
