C est extra energetique

モンクのピアノにハマると大変です。他のピアノの演奏がつまらなくなってしまうのです。現在は無事復帰できましたが、一時は感染症にかかったみたいにうなされたものです。

Thank you Dad

🎼✨Happy Birthday Monk✨ Much Love, all the best to T.S. & The Family, Fox🌬️💨🔥🎵🔥🎶🕶️

My elementary school band teacher had a boat and he named it "The Loneliest Monk". He was a big fan and taught us about him when we were in just grade 5. He started to miss class with a "hernia" for about a year. Then he came back and we were so excited and missed him so much. He was around for less than a month and had a "double hernia". Which is very rare, we were very sad being so young. Turned out he was battling with depression and a musician friend of mine went to check on him at his house where he found he had hung himself. He is the reason I am the musician I am today and he is the one who showed me Thelonious. RIP Joe Stephenson RIP Thelonious

Pure artistry and dedication. This is what jazz is all about.

Brilliant

Awesome stuff.

Questo signore al sax lo fa parlare e gli fa dire tutto quello che vuole lui un genio!

I love this! I had never heard of Monk before today. I am hearing about music hrtz? Anyone know what hrtz he played in?

What hrtz?

The descending triplets. Diddley Diddley Diddley!

Monk mostly played to small crowds in small clubs, but they were all jazz celebrities and aficionados. Reviewers repeatedly spread the lie that he couldn’t play! I understand Gould was often accused of this. It is fugging difficult to crack their code, but it’s a revelation when you do it! I’m thinking say Ornette Coleman, it seems impenetrable till you crack it. I recall Amy Winehouse talking about learning on the edge of jazz til she ‘cracked Monk’, after which nothing was ever the same. As a culture we still haven’t cracked Monk.

First time I heard ‘Thelonius’ I almost wept. How could anyone build an entire musical life and then play this on his swansong? They say the genius of Glenn Gould was partly down to his ‘long, flat fingers’. Thelonius’ Genius was short fat fingers! You can only play with what you’ve got, and this Master (much misunderstood) more or less gave up after ‘Underground’. I completely understand. I still haven’t worked out that percussive attack that he gets. And those rolling frills. Ignorant folk used to say Monk couldn’t play. I’ve read reviews of Gould that say he, too, couldn’t play, and slowed stuff down because his technique wasn’t up to it. Sadly these people die before the boneheads get it.

Rimarrei giorni a sentirlo suonare in quel modo che solo a lui riesce

C’est l’un des meilleur morceau de jazz mais si peu sous estimé… 😢

The Baroness loved Monk. I don't mean that old crappy fly-by-night B.S. love. I mean deep lasting sincere love. It shows in every photograph of them together. He loved her back. She and his wife, "Nellie", had an understanding to say the very least. His children loved her too. If you're going to live plural marriage, that's the way to do so.

nice reaction!

2024 still listening 🩷

I would live in this video, love the combo image plus this song ❤

?

some of my friends think Monk sounds like Sesame Street on LSD But I beg to differ , him with Rouse is top shelf to me

日本人の心を巧みに表現しています。さすがです Monk!! VIVA Monk♪

Art Blakey on Drums ... Just Brilliant 🥂🎶🌞

Mi piace questo tipo di musica ..grazie

My fave Monk recording. Seems perfect to me in all parts. Transcendental Rouse.

❤

This is incredible.......

👏🏾👏🏾

When I think of Monk I think of fluorescent yellow and blue

Tenor saxophonist looks like Wayne Shorter to me. Others have said Charlie Rouse and Dexter Gordon... doesn't look like either of those guys to me.

Бл... Ну что за классное соло....

I just looked for each of the artists in the descriptions on Spotify and followed you all. Great rendition, I would love to hear y’all playing Japanese Folk song .

Grands. ❤Monk

that's not New York, is it?

❤

Nick Nurse brought me here

영혼이 느껴지는 연주, 잘 들었습니다. 고맙습니다.

_The New York Times_ is trying to introduce more people to the _Magnificence of Monk_ today, on 1st November 2023, and while many good suggestions have been offered, I think it could easily have been just this one tune, the simplicity of an intricate piano solo, played perfectly by Thelonious! - j q t - See the 11/01/2023 NYT Article under: arts/music/thelonious-monk-jazz-music.html

Superb Dexter Gordon on the saxophone

This song is like Monk teaching musical theory for how he manipulates and innovates the melody is a new type of syncopation in JAZZ,and it's very understandable how he and DEWEY could come to blows about the interruption of this Jazz classic standard

He was to play music for the world to see himself delighting his own ears, he was in such a point that that’s the only thing he cared about.

I love the ending on this! It reminds me of the ending of The Addams Family! Oh. And the music!

Love Mr Monk

Yeesh look at these comments flapping so hard about how this is the greatest piece of artistry every performed by a human... Sounds pretty terrible imo... There's some nice parts here and there but for the most part it sounds like an intermediate pianist still trying to work out what does or doesn't work

Ego podruga doc milliardera podarila svoemu drugu belyi rojal.

The heft of that weighted last finger is genius. Dude is swing a mallet at the carnival. Waaayyyy past stylish. Love it. Thanks. Keep coming back to this. Dude is stomping our a brush fire before he gets caught fer lightin' it. Childish, criminal! Mesmerizing.

Il s'est introduit dans ma tête....

I wish there was film footage of this amazing concert .

Music brings people together and Jazz has done this brilliantly, god bless , Jazz, and Thelonious monk.
