His use of dissonance and emphasis on passing tones as part of the melody is unlike any other jazz pianists at the time and even today. There is absolutely no denying his unique musical signature and I would even go as far as saying he was one of maybe a handful of musicians, regardless of genre, who had a completely original style that has never been duplicated.
Great. One of the fine things about this retrospective is seeing meet greet each other without hugging and kissing. They're content just to be Kool Kats.
Just realized he is related to me. I play piano and sing too. My grandmother was also accepted into Juilliard. Blood line runs strong 😂
Truth!
The first time I heard Thelonious Monk, was as a schoolboy at the Chelsea Classic cinema in the Kings Road in the film Jazz on a Summer’s Day! The tune Blue Monk was the highlight of that film for me, discovering such a cool sound and such a cool musician – I was hooked immediately.
Soon after, I found a second hand Riverside LP “Thelonious Monk in Action” (‘Live at the Five Spot’ 1957)
Roy Haynes, Abdul Malik, Johnny Griffin and Monk!! Can you imagine. I was 16 or 17 in 1962/3. Hard to explain the effect hearing the intimacy of the Five Spot club, with Johnny Griffin’s tenor and Monk’s piano laying down such incredible tunes. Indelibly etched into my psyche, my heart and my soul, I had to find more.
Soon after, Monk came to the Royal Festival Hall promoting the album ‘Monk’s Dream’. Saw him, still a schoolboy, at the RFH – it was a life changing experience. I am now 77, 60 years later and I’m still enamoured with him. It has become a lifeline to me. I will never tire of hearing such beautiful music. It has given me so much friendship and love, I can’t tell you how much I love this man’s music.
I love it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the opening song you can hear Theolonius moaning and humming as he plays!!! Wonderful!!!!
Monks harmonic and rhythmic sophistication, for me, is like the physics of the universe shrunk to small profound equations. I hear Monk when i see drawings by MC Echer and Frank Lloyd Wrights interiors.
In the 1970s, I cut Nicas lawn in Weehawken NJ. I got to know her a little. She was very kind and would ask me about my life and was curious about the music me and my friends were listening to. At the time I didn't know who she was. It wasn't till I was in my 20s when a coworker turned me on to Monk and I put it all together. It flabbergasted me. As the decades passed and I learned more and more of the history of the music its still astonishing to me that I was at that time and place amongst a giant of Jazz in her own way.
pure gold
I like the framing of Thelonious in Ken Burns' Jazz more than this one because he has more observant interviewees talking about the musicians. This doc feels more like an anthrpological lens of "look a musician slowly starts unravelling into madness even though he was an innovative genius". T-monk was a visionary who knew how to produce, finish, and perform when he felt like it. Very anticapitalist in his methodology.
@2:19 "you get famous and they put you in that book? I'm famous…..aint that a bitch" 😂😂
guy is blessed with nellie n nica taking care of him.🥷🕉
This is cool 😎
Escuela Bud Powell.
What autistic box didn’t he tick?
I'm very grateful to you for posting this. But maybe you could put all the commercials at the beginning? Or bunch them together? Anyway, thanks.
Monk was hip. Dig Mel Rhyne and Richard Groove Holmes on B3 playing left hand bass. There were so many great players, a product of time and their environment.
Thanks for putting up this marvelous film! Wow. Didn't see anybody mention the director's name: Charlotte Zwerin. Eastwood helped with financing but she was the director who put all the pieces together.
Documento histórico que debe ser valorado y apreciado como una herencia cultural del arte y la expresión de diversidad cultural !!!!ellos fueron los más grandes artistas del siglo XX.
Hasta en los colegios y universidades debería hablarse del aporte de muchos grandes genios de jazz !!!!
