Monk has such a sarcastic and aggressiv way of playing, but in a good way. He doesn't try to avoid the conflict he is searching for it. Thats why I like his music so much. It's pure Art!

You know what … after seeing this piece, I do believe your right. He just rolls around in the silence.

I cottoned on to Monk in the late 1960's and early '70's, when all my contemporaries were already listening to rock. I took two of my friends to a concert of Monk's at Carnegie Hall (or Philharmonic Hall, I don't remember). They thought I was crazy but I was mesmerized. He has never been surpassed in my book.

Benoit Pellet did your friends get it, or they went right back to their corporate rock records?

Bwaaaaah! he crax me up! I studied his technique and voicing . When I listen today , I mean REALLY listen I DO hear the "outside" intervals he uses in his comping. In his second solo he is only changing the top note of the interval , then he does the same interval but moving up or down by whole or half steps. I love the point where he feels the need to leave his own rhythm section. Then listen to the bass, the only shred of harmony available , step in cause he has no other choice until Monk comes back from outer space. God bless our Monk.

I feel like only someone as mad and as ingenious as Monk could possibly understand this music on a deep level. He'll just do these strange little repetitive things with exotic chords, and it makes me wonder what's going through his head. I think he heard music in a profoundly different way than everybody else.

凄いといか言いようがない尋常ならざらぬモンクの気配に圧倒されました。 本当にクール。 永久保存版の演奏だと思います。

Creativity has no bounds. Genius !

גאון!!! זכיתי לשמוע אותו בהופעה בהיכל התרבות, 1971 בהרכב שכלל את דיזי גילספי, אל מקיבון, ארט בלייקי וסוני סטיט. בשנה ההיא הייתי עדיין בשירות סדיר וביום ההופעה יצאתי מהבסיס בו שירתתי בסיני (אום חשיבה למי שעוד זוכר...) ואחרי נסיעה של 6 שעות הגעתי, בשעות אחר הצהרים, לתל אביב.

He plays like killing bugs wandering over the keybed, damn he swings!

The way he plays the piano it's like the moment before the mind and ears realize something not right and ar the edge of that moment he sneaks the sound end. Brilliant!

I feel he seldom actually plays the tune itself, he makes you play it in your own mind.

In a world of musicians to be absolutely unique speaks volumes for Monk's talent. Here he is both asymetrical and abstract in soloing and yet he quotes C Jam Blues. A very fine player and composer indeed. Thank for the clip.

No clue what cosmic wormhole brought me here, but that video is just a hell of a ride.

I love how Thelonius Monk immediately stands up after his solo.

Best comment below: "He plays the piano like it's a percussion instrument". Love it!

Melhor versão de Blue Monk,que já alguma vez ouvi !!! Monk,fantástico!!!

You know, at certain times in both Monk's comping and his solos, I can hear a kind of pre hip hop. And I also thought that part of what made Charlie Rouse an ideal "foil" for Monk's compositions was that Rouse struck me as more of a R&B player who nevertheless knew jazz "language" and could therefore solo effectively. Especially as regards Thelonious' musical universe.

Larry Gales!!! Oh my God. RIP bro! Drummer solos on a 3-piece set better than modern day drummers with double pedals and 17 piece sets!!

I cry with delight.

The great thing is that,no matter what Monk does with it,it is still the blues!That knowledge is really the heartbeat of his greatness.

Monk has a lot of "C Jam Blues" in his solo. Love it. Cooler than cool.

Pure genius all around. A damn plethora of talent!!!

Love how Monk stands up half way through

Great Jazz ♥️🎸🎹🎺🎷

Amazingly, I heard Monk play live in the back room of a London pub circa 1960. No band, just Monk. The first thing he played was Blue Monk. The place was packed and went wild for his quirky music.

The monk, the sax, the base guitar and the drums? Blue Monk bliss 🎉

Sublime! Beauty! Genius

All good and in particular a great sax solo.

SO GOOD I LITERALLY DRIFTED Off an afternoon siesta coz of how soothing it is. Had me swaying and everything damn love it
