Idiosyncratic pianist, composer, and arranger (1917–1982) who takes a place among the most innovative figures of modern jazz. Large vintage blue fountain pen signature, “Good Luck, Thelonious Monk,” on a light blue 6.25 x 5.25 album page. Matted to an overall size of 9.75 x 8.75, with several images of the pianist affixed around the signature. In fine condition, with slight toning and a small area of surface loss from pressure to signature; page is permanently affixed to the mat. An exceptionally large and scarce signature from one of jazz’s most unorthodox and influential musicians. Pre-certified REAL.
