A LOT of VG musicians couldn't play with him, found his music too complicated. Monk threw knuckleballs. Hit this thing! lol

This Concert is the most important concert I ever attended: Amazing, transformative, chocking … I knew and loved only Dixieland before (and still do love Louis) but Monk really plays so true, no bs … Merci Thelonious ❤️

One of the greatest jazz quartets in history.

Thelonious Monk is the definition of jazz.

Been playing the upright for years-and I still marvel at the ease at which Larry Gales has mastered his instrument, to be as young as he is also; it just seems so different from what a lot of other cats were doing at that time! 1-3-24.

If I remember correctly, he didn't get all of his equipment delivered and that is the reason for the pared down drum set.

Monk pieces are never boring, no matter what he played he brings life to it in abstraction

Larry is in dreamland when he takes his solo from min 7..🔥🎼😍

Un des plus beaux concerts de ce génie, à la tête d'un quartet aussi subtil que MONK, un ovni immortel, pur virtuose de l'intervalle musicale, j'ai vu cette vidéo plus de 20 fois et c'est toujours avec autant d'émotion

My teacher is having me transcribe Monk's solo. even though it isn't technically a complicated solo, the tight intervals make it rather difficult to decipher. I'm going to learn so much, though.

Monk was a dear man who could play like nobody else.

When Monk first did this I practised the chorus for 3 months then played it in the local pub. Everybody started shouting,"Go away! Practice for 3 Years!" Then some friendly soul called out that it was a Jonathan & Darlene Edwards thing, so then I got a round of applause and was bought a few pints. Well, it's all a matter of taste so if you like shit 'chacun a son gout'.

I thought I knew of his music. Guess not this is outstanding.

This is such a sweet melody.Sounds so simple,but when you peel it back,like an onion,there are lots of layers. MY MAN MONK. Thank you for this video. I have the lewie armstrong,miles davis,duke ellington,count basie ,dexter gordon AND A FEW OTHERS IN THE JAZZ ICONS SERIES. Loaned MONK and,WEATHER REPORT live at montreaux to a friend.Of course,i havent seen them since.

One of two sax players who understood Monk's music. The other one is Sonny Rollins. John Coltrane struggled initially with this music.

Nobody understood tempos better than Monk.

first you gotta practice getting and keeping those fingers formed in the horrifyingly proper wrong position and proceed from there to correctly hit wrong notes, parts of the right notes or notes that suggest the right notes but aren't exactly it. With practice you could begin to feel the man and his unpolished brilliance.
