    Thelonious Monk absolutely genius.

    I know unique. I love music and stopped by to check this out.
    This man was the embodiment of natural musical talent and genius.
    He is one of a kind and from head to toe, this man is cool. Beautiful clothes, suit, cap, shoes he is unreal.
    Then he dances and plays piano and is other worldly.
    What a great moment of perfection

    Even walking away, he was listening. And Monk's first phrase is a response to Charlie's. And then builds off of it. Crazy. Brilliant.

    While most musicians would continue playing, Monk would stop, stand up, and dance for a few moments before returning to the piano.
    That cat was cool af. RIP Monk.

    Monk would start dancing because he'd accomplished his goal of inspiring the band to swing. He mentioned this in a few interviews. He wasn't interested in more notes or the heights of virtuosity (though he could've achieved that had he so desired), but in the transcendent rhythmic power of the greatest of all music. Monk was both a mathematical genius and autistic. Combined with his passion for Jazz, those traits allowed him to become one of the greatest, most striking, memorable and brilliant composers in the history of music.
    In this performance of 'The man I love', with Miles Davis, Monk stops playing his solo after several very sparse bars and I'd put money on the fact that he'd stood up and started dancing, as the bass and drums are swinging beautifully. At 5 minutes 43 seconds, Miles uses his horn to call Monk back to the piano (with a quote from Miles' tune 'Four'... as if to say "hey man are you done? I mean... we're making a recording here) and Monk's solo begins again, and with renewed focus and brilliance! ruclips.net/video/rTmRVastF5Q/видео.html

      On the flip side, Monk fell asleep at the piano on many occasions when he was drinking. May not have mixed well with the Thorazine. Could have been the weed, also.

    HE WAS LISTENING TO ROUSE'S LAST PHRASE (he played Rouse's rhythm and continued his thought, all while running back to the piano)!
    DAMN! That was killin'!

      Don’t you think this is the reason why we don’t hear new, equally existentially filled, edgy jazz today. Different time, different people, different music.

      @blindlemon9 4 года назад +12

      Lee Nuxunumo . You got that right. Monk played with some of the greatest sax players of all time like Johnny Griffin, Harold Land, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Lou Donaldson, Yardbird, Coleman Hawkins, Steve Lacy, Gerry Mulligan, Ernie Henry, and Phil Woods. But nobody, not even Rollins or Coltrane, understood and complemented Monk’s vision as well as the criminally underrated Charlie Rouse.

    And the way he’s so wrapped up in the moment he likes to dance during a hot chorus is so sweet! He clearly lived and breathed music!

    That's not true, he did do drugs, not that it matters much. I am more annoyed that you think there is some correlation between talent and madness, it's just not true, there is plenty of evidence of that around. Even worse, there is plenty of people who try to portray themselves as mad to earn credibility, and you're ignorance is just making it easier for them to feed on that myth.

And it's always been self destructive from what I've seen, maybe the next talent will be different
