Thelonious Monk. Mr.Jazz Rebellious Mr.Independent. Mr.Non Conformist AND I LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT.

Using the 'head' to this great piece is wonderful as a warm-up for jazz guitar! Long live Monk!

wow what an amazing photo of thelonious i love that you can see his hands playing the piano keys

Since Monk died on Feb. 17, 1982, the year obviously is not 1987! The song, originally titled 'Classified Information', then 'Worry Later' and eventually, and appropriately, 'San Fransico Holiday', was recorded live at the Blackhawk in San Fransisco in 1959

I never knew of the original title.Interesting.But I prefer the subsequent title,particularly since the diminished runs give the bridge it's "worried" quality

@@postatility9703 I can't remember where I picked it up or read about it, where they explained the title of this piece. It was one he hadn't a name for yet and when the producer asked about the title he reportedly said "worry later"
