Monk didn't just write jazz standards; he was THE standard.

[@kelvinbriggs1571]

A few of my heroes playing together. Goosebumps still, over 52 years later.

Al McKibbon - jazz double bassist

[@mysteriousplankton]

Man oh man! This is the real deal.

[@felixkcl]

Their ability of dynamic control, very contrasting dynamic yet still super groovy and smooth, is terrific!

[@EzshwanWinding]

Wow! Experiencing these giants of jazz again has made my day.

[@20thcenturyremnant]

Some beautiful music here. Thanks for preserving & sharing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@jurgendewaal7251]

Terrific, excellent music, thanks so much !!!

[@itumelengmosailane1192]

That percussion revive my soul

[@petepoulos]

This is the tour Al McKibbon and Art Blakey said Thelonious Monk only spoke a few words to them the whole time. Later he wrote the reason why he didn't hardly speak was that he was surprised to see how ugly they were. Wow.

[@Silllywalks]

😂 🤦🤷😂😂

[@Gestureye7x]

i remember reading this and cried laughing hearing his reason. literal tears , Ugly Beauty indeed !

[@Stillfabulos]

Да он и сам не красавец

[@thomas.vanderzwan]

God, that tempo in 'A Night in Tunisia'. Incredible.

[@ЕвгенийЧистяков-м1п]

The greatest time of jazz!

[@patrikbifeldt7227]

holy holy

[@chapmyers9272]

Terrific. Monk is lovely to hear; personal distress shows in his face. I understand there’s a recording of this combo recorded two weeks later in London.

Esta mistura de jazz com bossa nova resulta muito bem, dá um carácter especial ao jazz, dá-lhe um toque tropical. Gosto muito. Obrigado por estes momentos bem passados. Protejam-se do Covid-19. Boa sorte.

What was wrong with monk here?

[@oliverleslie7382]

thorazine😢

[@SplitHairz]

Who is the bass player?

[@dankrebs4764]

Al McKibbon

[@ALFHAKANSUNDIN]

This must be Thelonious Monk toward the end of his career. He plays as usual but a little subdued

[@barbarabrown3381]

He was on a high dose of Thorazine. Same thing with Nina Simmone.

[@frankfeldman6657]

Monk is playing great, but looks unwell. It's troubling. I know this was near the end, not of his life, but of his playing in public.
