Monk

Japanese: モンク
Monk
American jazz pianist and composer. He was one of the jazz musicians who created bop, a new style of modern jazz, in New York in the 1940s. While his contemporaries D. Gillespie and C. Parker excelled in fast and complex melodies, he was characterized by his simple and original approach. In 1944, he participated in a recording with Coleman Hawkins and others. After that, he led his own combo and explored new possibilities, and in the late 1950s, he gained a great deal of support through his collaborations with J. Coltrane, among others. His representative songs include "Round Midnight" and "Straight No Chaser".

Monk

A British soldier who contributed to the realization of the Restoration of the Monarchy. As a young man, he fought on the continent, mainly in the Netherlands, and returned to England in 1639. During the Puritan Revolution, he initially joined the royal army, but was defeated in 1644 and imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he switched sides to the side of Parliament. He gained Cromwell's trust during his expeditions to Ireland and Scotland, and was appointed commander-in-chief of the Scottish army in 1651. He commanded a fleet in the First War against the Netherlands. In the chaos that followed Cromwell's death, he led an army into London, negotiated with Charles I in exile, and convened a provisional parliament to prepare for the Restoration of the Monarchy. For his achievements, he became Duke of Albemarle, and also fought in the Second War against the Netherlands, commanding a fleet.
