Merle,
Always a fan of Monk, here.
I've named asteroids I've discovered for some of the members of Monk's quartet:
Monk himself; and, Charlie Rouse, his tenor saxophonist. See my naming
citations below. These namings are official and are published to the world by
the International Astronomical Union, and they are recognized
Solar-System-wide, if not wider. ;-)
Citation for (11091)
The following citation is from MPC 42672:
(11091) Thelonious = 1994 DP
Thelonious Sphere Monk (1917-1982), American composer and jazz
pianist, born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, moved to New York City at age 3
and took up the piano at age 5. Monk was central to the development of the
bebop style and a great procreator of musical advances.
Citation for (10426)
The following citation is from MPC 57950:
(10426) Charlierouse = 1999 BB27
Charles (Charlie) Rouse (1924-1988) was an American jazz tenor
saxophonist, born in Washington, D.C. Recording first in 1947, he played in
Thelonious Monk's quartet during 1959-1970, exemplifying the "modern" style
steeped in bop that Monk stressed. His final recording was a Monk tribute.
