Thelonious Monk wins a Pulitzer

Thelonious Monk (1917-1982) won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize "for a body of distinguished and innovative musical composition that has had a significant and enduring impact on the evolution of jazz."

My favorite Monk album is Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane - Ruby, My Dear is so laid back and smooth, it almost hurts.
