@wEEman33 If there's something helpfull that I could tell you about this comment, it is that you gotta learn that in music (specially jazz) there's no "wrong notes" if you are doing your art with passion and sincerity.

1 Dislike is from wEEman33

[@androswolf]

While i wont deny that Thelonius was a Genius when it came to Jazz it still pains me to hear one of my favourite and beloved Songs played in such an askewed manner. I am Aware that this is Jazz but i think this song would have deserved a smoother jazz that isnt so off-note. But thats my opinion of Course. If ya'll like it i would be the last one to judge you over it.Peace 'n' Out !

@wEEman33 hahahah dont say stupid things! if u dont know, just ask

[@jyoungAD]

sounds like he's hittin' a lot of wrong notes

[@davidcastle3292]

a unique approach for sure, that's Monk. one of his critic of the day said he sounded like he played with 2 left hands.no wrong notes in jazz.....just transitions, adding tensions, and exclamation points....2 cents paid....
