I am 35. First Time earing the music of Thelonius. Just by the way he start, the posture, the hands movements, the playing with the piano, the waiting to the saxo, just that Is genius. Fantastic ❤

Wow.

the way he just gets up and walks away after his solo is so cool lmao

What a genius

I just say lovely!

Mental patient with some technique.

Troppe note suonate male. Mah!

I like how he beats on the keys randomly as if he were swatting flies and yet it causes an eargasm. Plus there's the kooky white hat to go with a blue suit. That's my kind of player!!

Перстень очень мешает Монку, всё-таки эти люди- любят эффекты. Музыка? Она прекрасна!🤓

Imagine hitting those keys in perfect time and just the right intonation while playing live. That's the true professional.

Wow, this is catchy. I thought I didn't like jazz. Well I really don't get the point of stand-up bass. Horrible tone, sounds like mud. Put an electric bass in there, and play with a little swing.

Sounds like they're all drunk. Which they probably were.

Das ist einer der genialsten Musiker - für den Musik so was ist - wie ein Rätzel das man lösen will. Also eigendlich Keiner

He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice. You’d better leave out some jerk chicken and rice. Santa Claus is coming to Juliard.

I ask for your prayers and healing vibes as I continue to face health challenges. Thank you for your support.

Larry was robbed early on. He had to take a lap…

And this video is a breath of fresh air!

A true timeless gem 💎

Does anyone know if he could play hot cross buns?

Man..he left too young

First heard him back in the day in the 70s when I worked across the street from WJZZ in Detroit on the Boulevard. My boss would say "What are you listening to?" I would take him to his front window and point across the street and say "cool jazz from there!"

Muzik adalah sihat apabila ia membangkitkan emosi atau mood dalam diri anda. ia tidak semestinya mengenai melodi atau keagamaan, tetapi lebih kepada mengangkut pendengar ke tempat yang tidak pernah mereka kunjungi sebelum ini. Dalam kes ini, saya berasa seperti saya sedang duduk di bangku tanah perkuburan pada petang yang panas. angin membelai lembut wajahku, dan semuanya senyap kecuali alam yang mengelilingiku 🧙‍♂🧚‍♀🤗

This is very raw love it

Thank you for picking-up on the comments of a plain vanilla fan. Actually, I came upon Thelonius Monk a few years after the path-breaking, exploratory "bop" sessions at Minton's Playhouse but my ear was still attuned to the music that moved up the Mississippi on riverboats. My ear, at that point was not good enough to comprehend the revolution that Bird, Dizzy, Max Roach, Bud Powel et al, leave-alone Monk, were wreaking, melodically, harmonically and rhythmically. That an ordinary, common-or-garden lover of jazz eventually "saw the light" is a tribute to Monk's genius both as an innovator and composer. It wasn't until the late 70s that the bulb lit! Ciao, Amico/Amigo.

Only an absolute genius in the middle of the track stands up and checks that everything is OK...

Sublime

I'm 85 years old, live in New Delhi, India and have been a jazz fan through the music's Avatars from Joplin to the present day since I was 11. I'm not a musician and loathed Mr. Monk's music when I first heard it. I was aware of the disrespect with which he was treated by fellow musicians (who believed he was "out of tune"). Yet, today, a non-musician like myself, has grown to love his music. That's the measure of the man who was so far ahead of his time that lesser mortals like us couldn't give him the respect and honour he deserved. A genius pays the price of living and walking among mere mortals. R.I.P. Bro and forgive us our trespasses😢

I cannot understand why jazz is fading away. I first heard this as a teenager in the 60s and just knew that this was it.

Too crazy but not crazy at all ❤

This is beautiful playing and a great version of this classic.

The rhythm section is godly...

If Mr. Monk and Mr. Young were still around, they could play any of my trumpets or guitars they wanted to. However, am impressed the way you care about with your LOVE for your exquisite piano. Am sure your piano and you sound astounding. MUSIC

Thelonius Monk and Lester Young. Not much else to say. Lester Young, Buck Clayton, with Walter Page-bass, Jo Jones, drums, Buck Clayton, trumpet.Count Basie in a small group in 1930s- Gershwins’s “ Oh, Lady Be Good”- PURE POETRY

❤❤❤Genial..

Monk is awful. How he ever became this so called “genius” is mind boggling. He’s an embarrassment. He can’t play piano. Can’t play in time. Has no idea how to voice lead changes. Definitely can’t solo. I feel sorry for the other players trying to play to his garbage. It’s insulting to Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Chic Corea calling Monk a genius.

Well, that’s one way of getting people into jazz…

Was this colorized or originally in color? I recall it black and white.. false memory?

“cocaine’s a helluva drug”

❤❤❤

MONKは何かわからないけど何かあるんだ😂

Monk inspires me to remember piano is a percussive, struck instrument!

❤️❤️❤️🐈

alright now

Tasty chops

MONK....GENIO❤DESDE ARGENTINA 👏

Heard Monk first at Barton Hall Cornell U (in 1964? ) Knocked me out! Still does.

Hear Monk you don’t hear anybody what an original!!!!

Verlos tocar es en sí mismo un espectáculo!

Is he the guy, who started the beanie fad?
