Monk and Philly Joe - Nutty- Salle Pleyel, Paris, France - December 15, 1969.

[@robsherfey4582]

I love how Monk would just get up and dance/wander around the stage when he was really feeling it. He just stands there, with his back to the audience, mesmerized by Joe's playing. So cool.

[@postatility9703]

Rouse makes it sound so easy.Born to play with Thelonious.

[@lillebird]

Shit I was there....didn't know this was filmed. Philly and his wife were friends of mine, I was back stage....feeling privileged to hear Monk

[@andrewdrums1234]

Hi Elaine Wow - that’s incredible Would love to hear more about Joe from you!

[@andrewdrums1234]

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

[@kenblenzigsr.2571]

Philly Joe killin it

[@MusicShed]

I love the speed up from 185 to 250! Lol, priceless PJJ footage

[@garydonnelly100]

Funny how those of us mere mortals would just get shit on for doing that. With a band I play with, when that happens, it's pretty much a group effort like it is here, but in amateur-land everybody blames the drummer. I don't know why people always have a heart attack when tempos drift. I've heard the best players fall victim to it. It's not like Jazz is on a click. Nothing and no one is perfect.

[@fepatton]

My drum teacher introduced my to PJJ through Miles Davis' Porgy and Bess, specifically the amazing fill work on "Gone, Gone, Gone". And yeah, the temp goes up like 30bpm in the middle solo section! Still genius though...

[@MelG11X]

Philly at his very best. Mesmerizing.

[@George_Pueblo]

It was him who drove the speed quite up, but delivered an excellent solo. Monk listened very well and found the right moment to tap in, Rouse missed it a bit 🙂

[@camsteele586]

Nice solo, super musical and very rudimental. Philly Joe had the best doubles around.

[@postatility9703]

Philly Joe also recorded with Monk in 1958,on Clark Terry's album "In Orbit" on Riverside records.

[@gilbertomolina2177]

Love Monk ! Amazing technique ! 🥳

[@iltromboncini32]

Been searching for this video for years, thanks! Some chode took his video of this down on account of the comment section complaining about the rushing bassist lol

[@sinbadMcCaffrey]

He wasn't listening very hard was he?

[@CoDaC35]

Lol 😂

[@mrtyjackpie]

We used to call’em JazzN***’s. ✌🏼🤣💀

[@cedardreamsLLC]

@@sinbadMcCaffreyI mean it does rush tho

[@ber334]

Even though it was obvious the bass player was rushing the tempo it was still a nice contrast

[@lamontthebassman5834]

The first time I saw this is was halfway through and the first I said was man that drummer is Bad Ass! Kicked his drummer out for a few!

[@SWAET.]

man, it really speeds up there at the end but they find their way home great video thanks for uploading

[@ber334]

Bass player

[@lorenschoenberg7486]

What great find!

[@artivism4068]

topnotch musicianship for the ages. they dont make them like they used to.

[@rhythmfield]

Thank you AD !

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Wowza! What a lineup! 🫶🏼✨🥁🎶

[@George-jo7mi]

Met Philly Joe at Woodie's on the hill in DC. Introduced myself as a friend of his son drummer Chris Haskins. Philly told me how Chris showed up at his apt in Philly one day and introduced himself as his son. Philly asked him to come in. They stayed together for awhile. But Chris didn't pick up his style. He was more into Billy Cobham back in the early 70s

[@jiyujizai]

あまり見たことない共演。興味深い。

[@TheEleatic]

Monk’s music makes me sweat like high school math tests.

[@doctorpatient519]

great comment :) there's a Fats Waller tune (shame on me for not knowing the name) where he's digging a clarinet solo and at one point the clarinetist pauses and Fats hollers "Yeah! Make that thing sweat!"

[@jroc2201]

It's so good it's too much

[@dasglasperlenspiel10]

WOW!! Philly Joe at his best, I think. Sometimes toward the end, his playing fell off quite a bit, but if most of us had his life, we wouldn't have been even able to find the bandstand. One of the greatest drummers, to whom we all owe a debt!!

[@alexanderjdivic4784]

Go to wiki and look up all Philly Joe’s album appearances post 1975, including those with him as a leader, listen to the albums, and I doubt you’ll ever say “sometime toward the end, his playing fell off…” again.

[@sinbadMcCaffrey]

6.50 on!

[@johannhauffman323]

Amazing Love it Did Monk write. on Red Gardenien Street ?

[@jurgendewaal7251]

Great that Philly was in the audience and that Monk saw him and asked him to join in, as Paris Wright was not the suitable drummer for Thelonious

[@TheEleatic]

Peanut butter and jelly.

[@bobblues1158]

Tempo went past on top-but they did it together and play great, so no problem.

[@George_Pueblo]

philly Joe drove the speed up. Maybe he wanted that speed for his solo ? 🙂

[@vova47]

Tempo almost doubled toward the end.......🤔

[@gruntrvn]

Speechless! If Monk played Drums he’d play like Philly! Who is on Bass & Sax though? Fantastic Video. Thanks

[@farshimelt]

Charlie Rouse on tenor.

[@paulrobertz8491]

The bass player with the Nietzsche moustache is Nate Hygelund

[@ber334]

​@@paulrobertz8491he was rushing but it was a nice contrast

[@williamforbes9103]

Who is the bassist?

[@jurgendewaal7251]

Nate Hygelund

[@MarioCalzadaMusic]

Not bad 😂

[@rhythmfield]

The real deal - these cats’ll swing you to ill health!

[@paulwaring7215]

Almost too good. Man, every day is a school day...

[@ber334]

I think the bass player is rushing the tempo although he is a very good player

[@electroazul]

pues a mi no me suena bien.... no estan tocando bien , no se si es el bateria, ...... monk tiene actuaciones mucho mejores

Yes and no. The language is there, don’t you think?

[@ber334]

Pure jazz

[@ber334]

Spontaneous improvisation based on a theme

[@danyelnicholas]

@@ber334 unlike when Monk played with Dunlop, Blakey, Shadow Wilson, who did play in time and understood Monks compositions?

[@ber334]

@@danyelnicholas in the jazz business some nights are better than others. It is the nature of creativity especially live spontaneous improvisation it won't be great all the time
