My bad.  This review was an addendum to a New York Times review of 2019 books.  I erroneously assumed it was a recent release.

All kidding aside, it’s an excellent biography. Highly recommended! Pretty sure there’s extensive discussion of it in a previous thread.

I was a bit astonished that some didn´t know about this book. 

I also got it as soon as it was published. It´s really very detailed and for example: I didn´t know nothing about Monk´s live in later years, didn´t know why he had stopped playing etc. and the book reveals a lot about Monk´s private live......

I hope they address the influence of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" on "Epistrophy."  Too many sloppy researchers have overlooked this connection.  

Is this a confirmed influence?  I'm not hearing enough similarity to make me think influence instead of coincidence.

Monk would have known "Powerhouse," and they both have this mechanized, futuristic sound. I'm sure "Powerhouse" was an influence, but I have no direct proof, though.
