Thelonious Monk - 'round Midnight

[@stewartmcintosh8924]

I saw Monk performing live at Manchester Town Hall in 1964 when I was 16 years old and to this day it is the best concert I have ever attended. Although my musical taste these days tends to be classical and opera nothing can beat the true greats. Parker ,Monk ,Coltrane and Davis.

[@stevensam17]

I too was born in '48 & was fortunate enough to hear Monk, Trane & so many other great artists in SF. Too young to get in the Workshop we did experience the intensity brought forth with memories of speaking to Trane & following Monk up Broadway in his quirky way. Cherished memories.

[@jeanlemenicier8438]

I am a jazz N.O fan end fan also of Swing era….But as i didn’t like very much MJQ, i bought and heard this around midnight, and after bemsha swing, and other mysterioso. And i was big surprised :i did love it….I was fourteen years, now nearlt eighty… And it ‘s always the same pleasure. I did have à diner with Dizzy and, Kenny Clark and Thélonius(unfortunately he was in the clouds this time)In the years seventies, and after i twas jazz at midinite in the « olympia » in Paris. Great to remember.

[@blackbnu]

"He played each note as though astonished by the previous one, as though every touch of his fingers on the keyboard was correcting an error and this touch in turn became an error to be corrected and so the tune never quite ended up the way it was meant to. Sometimes the song seemed to have turned itself inside out or to have been entirely constructed from mistakes… If Monk had built a bridge he’d have taken away the bits that considered essential until all that was left were the decorative parts - but somehow he would have made the ornamentation absorb the strength of the supporting spars so it was like everything was built around what wasn’t there. It shouldn’t have held together but it did and the excitement came from the way that it looked like it might collapse at any moment…"

Round Midnight is Thelonious Monk's most famous composition. Written in the key of Eb Minor, the 6 flats in the key signature take some getting used to but the tune contains lots of interesting chord changes and harmonic movements. [PianoGroove]

[@princeandrey]

I am in my late seventies. As a kid of 21, I lived around the corner from the Five-spot and frequented it as often as I could afford. Now, in my old age, I spend my days reading and doing some teaching, and I listen to classical music. Before dinner, however, I take a nice glass of g&t and listen to jazz. Lately, I've been playing this a great deal, so lush and melancholy, and so...HAROLD LAND. I find him to be a profound player and can't get enough of him. The ensemble work here--Charlie ROuse, and of course, Monk himself, are glorious!

[@idolewensberg3843]

It begins to tell, 'round midnight, midnight. I do pretty well, till after sundown, Suppertime I'm feelin' sad; But it really gets bad, 'round midnight. Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories, When my heart is still with you, And ol' midnight knows it, too. When a quarrel we had needs mending, Does it mean that our love is ending. Darlin' I need you, lately I find You're out of my heart, And I'm out of my mind. Let our hearts take wings' 'round midnight, midnight

[@jonk.j.jeffbartz7948]

Monk once said (mid 50's) that Herbie Nichols was the most "Out There" Pianist alive. He was wrong, he himself was. As for Herbie, I saw Monk outside the Workshop in '63 0r '64 and asked about Herbie. All he said was, "He kicked the bucket", then he went back in and started the next set. He was truly in a league of his own.

[@jasonpfinch]

Perhaps my favourite version of this astonishing and wonderful tune.

[@Gurci28]

“‘Round Midnight” is Thelonious Monk’s best-known jazz composition and carries the grand distinction of being the most-recorded jazz standard written by any jazz musician. A solo version from 1957 is available on Thelonious Himself (1991, Orig. Jazz Classics 254). 10:01 [Jazz Standards]

[@brendaweisz7815]

My memories exist in the fifties with my dad and his friends talking about going to clubs in post-war European jazz clubs that welcomed them all as they discussed life and love and Jazz and the rhythmatic soothing and calming songs like this.

One of his most popular compositions and sadly he never recieved proper royalties for this one. Bernie Hanighen ripped off a lot of talented black musicians. Hanighen's family should sign over royalties and give them back to Monk's family where they belong.

[@xiv1496]

DeMon Spencer What MJ once warned the public against tommy mottola.

[@mosai6950]

+DeMon Spencer honestly i think royaltys should never be passed on beyond the writer, his familly didnt write the music so why should they get money for something he wrote..?

[@DeMonSpencer]

Mint Trax That's pretty ridiculous. So the people that wrongfully deprived him of his money should get to keep it instead of giving it to his family because he's no longer alive to collect himself? And if you think artist shouldn't be able to pass ownership and royalties to their family, where should the money go? Who deserves to profit from this man's work? Record companies? Lawyers? Who? If I cheat someone out of 1 million dollars and they take me to court to collect, then that person dies before I get a ruling, are you saying I should get to keep that money that I came by dishonestly? Creative works are property. Just like someone who buys a house and leaves it to their children. Or Sam Walton leaving his children his controlling shares of Wal Mart stock. Copyright's do have an expiration date where the material is released into public domain. But that doesn't happen right when the artist dies. If we were talking about 4 or 5 generations removed I would probably agree with you, but in this instance we're talking about his wife and children. Of course they should be able to inherit his estate. Royalties included. Dishonesty should never be rewarded.
