Mysterious Thelonious is Raschka’s tribute to jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. The book uses just twelve colors, lined up like the twelve notes of the scale. The short, repeating text and loose, abstract images follow the shape of Monk’s music
Matches the tones of the diatonic scale to the values of the color wheel in presenting a portrait of the work of the composer of "Mysterioso"
