I'm astonished that any advertiser who interrupts this magnificent music, thinks I would EVER purchase their product or service. "Just saying"

[@moinjay3274]

Actually I would go the extra mile not to even consider the product

[@GregZO6]

@@moinjay3274 Right On!

[@rcpmac]

You actually think that’s how this works? Advertisers just buy screen time, an algorithm inserts ads. There is no BODY involved

[@GregZO6]

@rcpmac There is a "body" behind the algorithm. "Just saying"

[@alimantado373]

@@rcpmac The body writes the code FFS, AI domination is not here yet, and I hope Im dead before that happens. Because we will all be ,sheeple!,' living life through a screen (like Gen Z) and not physical experience.

[@paulk8072]

What Ben Riley can achieve with such a small kit is amazing!

[@alankirkby465]

I'm English, live England, UK. I saw Thelonious, play on his first visit to England ( 1961 ) at Free Trade Hall, Manchester, England. Other half of this Concert was Art Blakey Jazz Messengers, In the Messengers was : Lee Morgan and Bobby Timmons. Sorry for being boringly nostalgic. Peace to all.

I have heard stories from my elders who saw him and met him at Ronnie Scotts in the sixties. And they recant whohe actually was as a person. Like limited others a genius and a dope head at the tiime.

awesome to see Monk's hands while he's playing--all those crazy crossovers!--so many films focus on his face, which is maddening, esp. for pianists who are watching!

[@davewanamaker3690]

Wow! He is amazing. Grew up listening to his music on the Voice of America Jazz show hosted by Willis Conover in the 60s. Great to see him at his peak.

[@gdbrowne85]

Nice colorization. They even captured Charlie Rouse's striking yellow eye shadow. He looks beautiful.

[@Gurci28]

"My dad loved to play “Happy Birthday” for people he was close to. So on their birthdays he would show up at their house and play it for them. Each time it was a completely different arrangement." "In 1956 he brought a brand-new black and white Buick. He named it the “Piebald Beetle.” He drove it for about 2-3 months and then it was stolen. It was returned in perfect condition. My father said the vibrations in the car had changed and he never drove it again." by His Son T.S. Monk 30:31 [Jazz Org Blog]

Im a 40 year long Jazz fan. crying at this joint! America didnt recognise the genius in their citizens because of colour. They had to go to Europe for a bit of respect. The am ount of reference and revrance to Classical, and early 20th century songs is just beyond!

[@ebjazz93]

Thanks a lot. I used a recent process called Deoldify.

[@Marlg]

@@ebjazz93 Awesome. In my opinion, if the colorizing was too clean or digital looking, it would take away from the fact that these ARE black and white films. So I love that they look "colorized" rather than actual color film. It's a unique look that's now lost. Anyway, thanks for the info and keep up the good work!
