Thelonious Monk - Live In Paris 1965

[@postatility9703]

What is so valuable about KZbin is that it shines a light on musical geniuses like Monk, simply by providing wonderful examples like this. This often introduces them to a new generation, ensuring their immortality!

Incredible musicians- beautiful sound , a brilliant corner buy-the CD support the artist

[@hansteeuwen3967]

never predictable every fucking phrase is an original idea. one could derive several popsongs from jus one Monk solo. The band also out of this world.

God Damn Right!

[@juleecruise5703]

[@jazz4asahel]

Authentic. And these days we get our music with a can opener.

[@karendavis2773]

Monk's Dream was among my first LP order from Columbia Record Cub my first year in college, 1962. 60 years later, his music is still fresh, awake, alive, still revealing new hidden gems--

[@stevehatzai]

ahh record clubs - mine was Giant Steps

[@willguiro]

And it will stay fresh as long as humanity lives and keeps its sense of art.

[@kkimberling]

I love how you can hear Larry humming during his bass solos

[@LegitOoter]

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

Listening to this reminded me that in 1965 I had "dinner," ramen noodles at Mister Henry's, ("Approved by the Bohemian Embassy") sitting next to Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans on consecutive weeks. Each of them had been playing at Maxie Bluestein's, just down the street, The Brass Rail, was it? Just reminiscing led me to Google and Wikipedia, and then to Johnny Papalia: (Papaglia??) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Papalia Notes on an era.

[@mothersofperil]

Charlie is so calm and centered throughout Monk's tempest. Beautiful.

[@RugbyFrancesystemedejeu]

For reasons I can't explain (I'm no more a musician than a musicologist), I find the bands formed from 1959 onwards with Charlie Rouse to be... boring. I find their music stereotyped, repetitive and a pale imitation of what Monk played a few years earlier. Probably because, even then, jazz was, if not already dead, already dying (cf. the last fires of Miles Davis or Weather Report). Of course, I might be wrong. I never find the same ardor as in the years that preceded it. In particular, but not only, the ones with John Coltrane; John Coltrane I'm not a fan of, but who never seemed as good as he did with Monk. In this respect, the Carnegie Hall concert is exceptional, and seems to me one of the high points of Monk's work. I must also say that, although they came later, the 3 "London collection" albums were also of great value to me. Yet, generally speaking, the 10 years between 1947 and 1957 are exceptional, while the rest suffer in comparison.

Особенную радость доставляет то, что в разных концертах одни и те же уже знакомые темы звучат совершенно по-разному: новые прочтения великих (и простых в своей глубине) стандартов и составляют сущность и смысл существования музыки в нашей жизни (а музыка - это, по глубинной своей сути, всё, чем мы живём и дышим, а точнее, чем только и стоит жить и дышать на этой несчастной земле)!..

[@mirandac8712]

he truly taps into something primal here. nobody rocked harder. all of them. riley's little kicks (like in I'm Getting Sentimental) are shotgun blasts. monk's 'right wrong notes' twice trace the same melody exactly the way his real heir, jean michel basquiat (currently being revealed as the greatest american painter of all time), will draw and redraw the jagged shape of the teeth and jaw of the human skull.

Is it true that the reason that the tune is called Evidence is because its based on the chords of 'Just you just me' - which amongst those in the know was nicknamed 'just us' (justice) hence Evidence. Musician's humour.
