>Thelonious Monk is the greatest jazz composer
certainly arguable. You could also make a solid argument for Ellington/Strayhorn, Mingus, or Wayne Shorter.

>and some of his compositions such as 'round midnight and blue monk are some of the greatest compositions to have ever existed
>round midnight
one of his best definitely and certainly among the greatest jazz compositions

This is honestly just silly when you compare his compositions to those of Western composers like Bach, Schubert, and Beethoven.

Really good jazz is basically on the same level artistically as the music of these composers, but certainly not from a compositional standpoint.
