    I've just decided that Monk is 3rd way dissonance - Schoenberg, Weber , Berg are 'Romantic' dissonant angst , Messiaen is colour filled dissonance and Monk is dissonance as rhetorical / organising / theatrical principle its what Coltrane talked about when playing with Monk as like "falling down an elevator shaft in the dark". Its why Monk is so enjoyable to listen to and to play , his tunes aren't primarily about emotions, excepting Ruby my Dear and Crepuscule with Nellie, but instead they are made up of opportunities to surprise and delight viewers and players.
