For Moon & Sun, the first collection of our web3 jazz record label, we chose 'Round Midnight as the first track. This song was written by Thelonious Monk, the great American jazz pianist, and composer.
It is thought that Monk composed the song sometime in 1940 or 1941. However, there are claims that Monk may have written an early version around 1936 (at the age of 19). The song was copyrighted September 24, 1943 in C minor under the title "I Need You So", with lyrics by a friend of Monk's named Thelma Murray.
About the artist
Mike comes from a little hamlet in Southern Italy called Sovereto. For context, his region is called Puglia: I'm sure you know Italy has the shape of a boot, he is from the heel!
He has been playing music since he was 4 and was lucky enough to study music with great musicians. At about 11 years old he fell in love with jazz, listening to Dexter Gordon. Now he is 30 years old and on a quest to create more music.
###About the music
