Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and
composer, produced a body of work both rooted in the
stride-piano tradition of Willie (The Lion) Smith and
Duke Ellington, yet in many ways he stood apart from
the mainstream jazz repertory.
(A) Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and
composer, produced a body of work both rooted
(B) Thelonious Monk, the jazz pianist and composer,
produced a body of work that was rooted both
(C) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk,
who produced a body of work rooted
(D) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk
produced a body of work that was rooted
(E) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk
produced a body of work rooted both

The OA is D, but 'that was' is somewhat wordy. My question is, if there is another choice: Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk
produced a body of work rooted
Would it be a better choice?

I think you can not. As the past participle, rooted indicates that the action of the past participle occurred prior to the action of the main verb , produced.

But that is not the case here.
