Charli Persip on watching the Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk Recording Session

[@postatility9703]

Beautiful, hilarious story.I love Charli-----a jazz survivor,great storyteller,and one hell of a drummer!

I can never say too much about the kindness of Charlie. I met him in 1968 in Chicago when he was playing for Billy Ekstein. I went to breakfast with charlie, the bass player and pianist. What an honor.

Charlie Persip was always one of the best small group and big band drummers of the post bop and hard bop era. I especially liked his work with Dizzy' big band of the mid fifties.

This is fantastic - it explains one of the Monk's most baffling recorded solos!

I love persip. he's so funny and modest despite his enormous talent. a great story-teller. I bet he could write a great book!

Where can you get that DVD of Charli? I can only find the book.

[@marcogil6665]

What song is this solo on?

[@jeanhodgson8623]

It is "Bags' Groove". Monk doodles around on E and F, going down to D.
