Thelonious Monk - You are too beautiful

[@postatility9703]

As far as standards from the American Songbook are concerned,Monk is the absolute master of reinvention.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

Yes, Monk, both you and your music are just that, too beautiful!

[@yusefendure]

He was a one of kind. What a genius!

[@faustinkibaboukibamba7143]

What a genius! Real talent.

[@agustine.alvarez9832]

Terrible equipo, Monk, Pettiford y Blakey y un marvelous theme . Un sueño hecho realidad.

[@americogomez6435]

Thelonious Monk... an incredible interpretation of a beautiful song. It bring me memories of "Hannah and Her Sisters" (where it is played on the piano). This is sublime...

[@tohu777]

+Americo Gomez "It bring me memories of 'Hannah and Her Sisters'" - Exactly!

[@claudiarovan9276]

Yes sure I remember. Woody Allen and music in his film. Beautiful in everything

[@mel-dv5jx]

Terrible movie; lovely music.

[@hectorm6515]

Gracias Thelonious dondequiera que estés ¡¡Gracias por tu Arte!!

[@JayWinfield]

Master T-Monk. That legendary unique sound.

[@tontonsalut]

Too beautiful !!

[@minilab9030]

Notice the rhythm...the piano is a percussion instrument....subtle syncopated stuff here....this requires both hemispheres of a brilliant musical mind [Edit: Also those crushed asymmetric almost but not quite atonal seconds...wow].

Kyle Wolf true

[@StevenCarinci]

I'll kill 'em!

[@space8387]

So sad Oscar and Thelonious stop working together. Magical like on Monk Ellington album

[@jafuso61]

most welcome...

[@willieluncheonette]

@raybobus Feel the same way, What a beautiful album this is. And the postage stamp cover is just great! The story is Riverside, afraid the public was going to be scared or frightened by the "weird High Priest of Bop" decided to have him play Ellington and standards on his first 2 albums so the public could ease on in. Of course, the standards album led into 3 of the greatest albums ever made: Brilliant Corners, Thelonious Himself, and Monk's Music. Monk added so much beauty to this world.

[@postatility9703]

And the beautiful thing about Orrin Keepnews' very smart strategy was that, it not only showed that Monk could really play,but he retained the integrity of the melody while not sacrificing his own unmistakable style.The jazz public then realized what they had.And today he remains one of the main influences in jazz,and even other facets of popular music.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

1:34 -146 How nice was that !!!

[@willieluncheonette]

@raybobus Couldn't agree with you more. Monk will always be enjoyed as long as great music is listened to. It's funny how one's musical tastes change. Just recently I've grown to really like a punk album that I really didn't care for for 25 years. You might be interested in a few comments I left on other Monk songs. On Misterioso [it's the 1st one shown with a black and white photo of Monk at a piano] and I Surrender Dear [it's from the Brilliant Corners lp cover photo] Just some of my feelings.

[@Insight200801]

Looks like the rappers have already rustled that name. But nothing beats the coolness of the original TM.

[@emanuelpollak1440]

What can I say, Monk is Monk, the rest is the same. Who says Pettiford is not a bass player and Art Bdeki is not a drummer?)

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

This ART was meant for those stay-up-late fora, not this BS Newport, Carmel stuff. I caught Basie, for example, in an intimate setting on Sunset Blvd. years ago and the mood was groovy. No, Newport and Carmel isn't the setting!

[@WillFris]

David De Kabouter.

[@StevenCarinci]

OMG! What the *&^%?

[@Insight200801]

You know the name Thelonious Monk could pass as a punk rock or heavy metal band. Maybe change out the Th with a F. No? Love this number though.

[@skineyemin4276]

It's been done. You're a little late.

[@juditkamondi367]

Kár, hogy vége.

[@lupash]

Lol.. White Christmas quote.

[@theloniousmonk81]

Monk was argentian! And Peronista like the pope francisco

[@henrytudorpole5803]

explain?!

[@albertojosecacurri5692]

Where did you loose your brain, in case of having one I guess??!!!
