Going with D on this.

Modifier needs to be near what it modifies (in this case Mr. Monk).

Also, need "that"

Correct?

Its from one of the response from Stacey. Using it here for reference

BOTH (rooted in the stride piano tradition of Wilie) AND (Duke)
The X and Y are represented by the parentheses, but these two things aren't parallel. You'd need something more like "work rooted in the stride piano tradition of BOTH (Wilie) AND (Duke)" - though that's only one way to fix this. Another way is to remove the BOTH idiom entirely (which is what this one appears to do).
