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.
My love for Jazz is from my late two oldest Brother ❤️ the oldest was a Jazz historian, I'm 66, growing up in the 60's listening to the history of each Jazz giants was cherished by me 🎶 Thank you Blood ❤️
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
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 ❤️
Ascolto jazz da 40 anni ho dovuto fare gavetta prima di capire il monaco poi mi è entrato come una spada nel cervello!!ma che cazzo di genio ha fatto diventare il piano una percussione!!❤
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.
Really stunning. When I was in high school a slightly older woman I knew turned me on to Monk. I am grateful to her kindness to this day over 50 years later.
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.
Man . . Thanks for posting this concert by one of the best jazz quartets the world has known, taking us into a most unique jazz dimension. I'm doing a slow, easy, funky bebop bounce down the street with Lulu Back in Town.
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'.
Perfect. How is monkman playing with that 10 pound rock on his finger. I have always loved lulus back in town AND,this is one of the if not the best LIVE versions i have ever heard.
Interestingly enough Hendrix was a big fan of Rahsaan Roland Kirk. If you listen to the way Jimi voiced the blues you'll see why jazz composers and arrangers really dug his playing.
whoa! i learned mr. monk's piano in highschool for a jazz test, and used the recording from It's Monk's Time for the notes. never thought i'd get to see them perform it live! how cool! thank you for the u/l
Btw, that double bass looks very the same as the one Charles Mingus used at the exact same place there Aula University in 1964, maybe that bass is the uni's own property?
True! He’s one of the only jazz cats that consistently makes me laugh. I think Mingus would be a distant second. For contrast, a guy like Ellington just makes me smile.
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.
would it be too much to ask that someone who even begins to understands Monk's music, and even presumes to understand a tiny bit of the man, could offer an evaluation of may be an epochal performance?
Monk is the epitomy of displacement! The man transcends time and space!
Underrated comment ...!!
A LOT of VG musicians couldn't play with him, found his music too complicated. Monk threw knuckleballs. Hit this thing! lol
One of the greatest jazz quartets in history.
This swings like crazy...all the way through. Ben Riley is superb on this, playing a limited drum set. And Monk keeps you in suspense...as always.
like monk said, when ya swinging; swing some more!
Very hard to swing in Monk tempo but he demanded it, yeah
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.
Completely agreeing! And nobody applauds 😏
Just the right amount of dissonance if you listen carefully, especially the intro by Monk. That's genius, I love it !
And the dissonance is so appealing!
Monk pieces are never boring, no matter what he played he brings life to it in abstraction
Fats Waller wrote this one!
Thelonious Monk is the definition of jazz.
But not the only one.
That bass solo knocks me out!
Such a lyrical solo. Simple yet complex and very elegant
Me too! Amazing.
Yep!
He does not even take a look at the neck XD

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

I had the Straight no chaser cd in my car to work, listened to it four times a week a year long, kept being exciting to listen.
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 ❤️
An unmistakably elegant style. Monk is a treasure.
Something in this makes my heart ache.
It's the Blues
@@josephtravers777 Yes. Thanks for bringing me back to this on New Year's Day.
@@eshaibraheem4218 Monk always makes me smile. Happy New Year!
@@josephtravers777 You too!💃👐
Lulu was a prostitute who became a beloved madame in New Orleans.
Ascolto jazz da 40 anni ho dovuto fare gavetta prima di capire il monaco poi mi è entrato come una spada nel cervello!!ma che cazzo di genio ha fatto diventare il piano una percussione!!❤
my favorite jazz musician of all time
Mine too
WOW! A slice of JAZZ HEAVEN !!!
All Are Great Musicians.♫♪♫♫ Buy Wow, Larry Gales on Double Bass is SuperB, and so Cool.♫♪♫ Fantastic Solo. ♥ I Love It.!!! Thanks.
Larry is in dreamland when he takes his solo from min 7..🔥🎼😍
I could listen to Monk 24/7. Genius!
I once listened to Monk for 3 straight days, even while sleeping. Never got tired of it. Monk is like that.
Impossible not to feel UP lifted when listening to Monk
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.
It’s a Fats Waller tune btw!
I thought I knew of his music. Guess not this is outstanding.
Really stunning. When I was in high school a slightly older woman I knew turned me on to Monk. I am grateful to her kindness to this day over 50 years later.

Yeah, like that bit a 4:47.. and well, OK, most of it. Love to see how you did.
Tomas Jackson would love to see that transcription
Monk was the biggest harmonic genius every time.
Monk was a dear man who could play like nobody else.
Man . . Thanks for posting this concert by one of the best jazz quartets the world has known, taking us into a most unique jazz dimension.
I'm doing a slow, easy, funky bebop bounce down the street with Lulu Back in Town.
Larry Gales one of the best to do it Rest in Peace.
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!"

Ben Ryley! Damn man, you are so good!
re discovering monk
his wrongness is just so right...!!!
loving every minute of this
Never gets old
Perfect.
How is monkman playing with that 10 pound rock on his finger.
I have always loved lulus back in town AND,this is one of the if not the best LIVE versions i have ever heard.
7:55 Larry Gales cool as hell!
The best to ever do it!! RIP unc!
A work of sublime genius.
surely in the best bass ever category amongst other things....braaahhhhhhhoowmn
Monk is definitely one of my favorites, true genius!
Such a simple melody, but one of my fave Monk standards
Larry is just killin' it!
nine years late, but the seeing him tune his string at 7:07 in the middle of his solo seems to accurately summarazie his expertise. Monster.
I was that time -2 years old. 😍
I wasn't even born at that time.
The concert is from the University Aula in Oslo. Large paintings by Edvard Munch on the walls there.
Paul Hoff Baltzersen I was wondering about that
Thank you for the info. We were just wondering what and where this was.
1 musical genius, 3 natural talents equal all original sound.
BEST "Lulu" ever! 2:03
So clear and firmly direct with Rouse and firmly addled at the same time with Maestro Monk.The recording is great too!
holy moly larry gales is too swingin
Holy cameoly
I would have loved to see a post experience Hendrix make an album together with monk, one can only imagine....
while this is an interesting idea, hendrix would definitely need to hit the shed for a few years to play monk's bag...
Interestingly enough Hendrix was a big fan of Rahsaan Roland Kirk. If you listen to the way Jimi voiced the blues you'll see why jazz composers and arrangers really dug his playing.
He was well on his way to going that route and had the ear to pull it off 👍
@@danjv he was not tight enough to play with Monk sorry
@@presleyvelvet618 this aint by ear
this is a lifetime of theory
whoa! i learned mr. monk's piano in highschool for a jazz test, and used the recording from It's Monk's Time for the notes. never thought i'd get to see them perform it live! how cool! thank you for the u/l
lulu lulu lulu is back is back in tone
Monk and Rouse. That is money!
rest in peace ben riley!!
Doesn't get much better than that does it.
Thank you Gentlemen. + R.I.P.
superlativo! unico e inimitabile! grande Thelonius!
Can someone transcribe Monk’s blinking at 3:50
Monk is feeling that heron thats when that raw was goooood
Love so much!
What's up? It's all coming out the right channel.
Wayyyy good.
As always great listening to the most innovative person of jazz piano!
come muove il piede thelonius è unico!!!!
Too good
Un maestro sensei
Gale's sounds and feel are like a mixture of Sam Jones & Wilbur Ware. very inspiring!
Btw, that double bass looks very the same as the one Charles Mingus used at the exact same place there Aula University in 1964, maybe that bass is the uni's own property?
@@cotehall9434 The bass has the look of a cheap, plywood bass...not that there's anything wrong with that...
This reminds me of Nostalgia in Times Square lol
The bass solo is perfection
Amen! 1-3-24.
Not the most underrated of course, , but the least unknown master bassist and drummer in jazz history :)))
Grazie Fà
Extraordinary!
as i stood watching the man, who was watching a man, i realised i was sitting, and then he began to play the perfect jazz on that piano
Monk and the bassist are the best.
ooh. yeah
love his sense of humor
True! He’s one of the only jazz cats that consistently makes me laugh. I think Mingus would be a distant second. For contrast, a guy like Ellington just makes me smile.
THELONOIUS GÉNIE du JAZZ moderne...
Renaud
you stole my soul.......
SWEET
Monk is like Fats Waller, Duke Ellington and Frederik Chopin at cocktail hour.
Charlie Rouse's solo is so inside.
素晴らしい！
Nobody understood tempos better than Monk.
Nobody could play around the beat like Monk. Most of his tunes were the same tempo.
Il padre del piano jazz
Pow 💥
The link is in the description. : )
THELONIOUS
Dang! Watch that piano man!
3:13 damn, shop closes by the hour, oh whatever, I'll get it
...means 40 mins to gig and 10 to ride, damn

You're right. But I don't hear wrong notes.
@@tomglase5333 They are merely unexpected.
Mingus once said,"Monk plays wrong right.."
Don’t forget practicing to write comments that reveal a tin ear! Very important!
As someone fittingly said, Monk plays between the cracks of the notes
If Larry's bass was a tad louder this would be just perfect!
Anyone know why Monk and Dolphy did not play togrther?
Love them both.
Yo this video is only in the right ear.
If you look up the whole concert it’s in both ears
@@helvarthered yeaah
Yes. The sound was in the right and left ears before.
I don't know what happens...
One of two sax players who understood Monk's music.
The other one is Sonny Rollins.
John Coltrane struggled initially with this music.
Johnny Griffin was pretty good with Monk also.
🥀😀🌱💛
No toms, for drum sound Ben Ryley only has kick and snare, mind blowing!!!!!!
3:13 - that 'slowly turning around looking at my watch' dance... why didn't michael jackson rip that off, eh?
would it be too much to ask that someone who even begins to understands Monk's music, and even presumes to understand a tiny bit of the man, could offer an evaluation of may be an epochal performance?
Warsaw concert :D
There’s sounds in inaudible frequency to some
ummm that indeed is Charlie Rouse
Sure he never played any wrong note, they all sound great and all belong to the chords
All great artists get up from their work or step aside from their work in order to gain perspective.
Rouse on sax is equally essential as monk in defining the unique sound of monk's music
