Thelonious Monk "Nice Work If You Can Get It"

[@bernardocosta5281]

Genius! Clap clap clap!

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Monk’s harmonies and counterpoint always make the music especially fun to listen to.

[@vincentlimoli5238]

I wonder if Gershwin had Monk in mind when he wrote this...A perfect fit that does each of them justice.

[@postatility9703]

Very few have connected the past,present and future as beautifully as Monk.He always brings us into his musical fun-house.

[@OtsileM]

This dog comes to mind every so often

[@davidbrogan432]

I love hearing Monk growling around while he plays. Amazing. 🙇🔥

[@davidbrogan432]

Look at that stride, bro. 😳😲

[@davidbrogan432]

I need a pinky ring. 😎🙋

[@reigninginthecloud9004]

What a left hand!

[@pulykamell]

There is so much slop, dirt, and CONFIDENCE in this performance. It's beautiful.

[@Xaxtarr_Neonraven]

Everything is theoretically perfect!

[@davidbrogan432]

For me, this a special kind of perfect.

[@SantiagoChouhy]

@@davidbrogan432I couldn’t agree with you more

[@bobblues1158]

[@gennarocerbone]

Grande Monk

[@theopaopa1]

genio

[@patrickgregory367]

Thelonius would play you under the table Shannon Rowan!!! Don't focus on his form focus on the fact he's a legend!!!

[@JepppeLisdorf]

Does anybody know where this recording is from? I’d like to hear the entire set.

[@billpahnelas7966]

It's from a December 1969 performance for French television, no audience, just Thelonious! I got the DVD from Amazon a couple of years ago.

[@brianzayman2228]

He's in fine form! Does anyone have any more footage?

[@shannonrowan5065]

He's plays the piano like a girl with long nails types. All the legends have "bad form". Fml

[@Hairyderriere]

No one will be looking at videos of you playing the piano in years to come, Shannon. Perhaps you could learn how to say something with music we've not heard before?

[@TheChoFace]

who defined good form?

[@TazioN]

For ? It’s art not mathematics.

[@Xaxtarr_Neonraven]

Art creates form as form creates art!

[@davidbrogan432]

Wish I could meet a woman who could actually play the piano like Monk. She would have to be either a genius or crazier than any of my ex-girlfriends. 😜😵‍💫🤪❤
