Thelonious Monk - Blue Monk It’s impossible not to love Monk…
@SVG__Collection “A genius is the one most like himself.” - T. Monk
@SVG__Collection Happy Doge tipping Tuesday everyone!!
@SVG__Collection No one played music like Monk because nobody else could hear music like Monk. A true one-off genius.
@SVG__Collection Mingus said he had the best timing of anyone. No reason to my ear to dispute that. Anyone who could write Evidence or Brilliant Corners…
@SVG__Collection One of a kind.
@SVG__Collection I love me some trio jazz. The bass player looks very cool playing the walking style.
@SVG__Collection @braggpuss Awful. Utterly, unlistenably dreadful.
@SVG__Collection @clnfairfax THE birthday concert
@SVG__Collection I love me some Monk but often wonder what a Classical Concert pianist would think of his music
@SVG__Collection @Ms_Golightly the playing says "we care so much about music.. that we just don't care.. what comes out... comes out... n ain't it all what it is."
@SVG__Collection I think it was Monk who said "I keep playing until I play the right mistake" or words to that effect.
@SVG__Collection Coming across this as I work and listen to Underground and, earlier, Brilliant Corners.
@SVG__Collection @tanita_tikaram I got sent a catalogue from a supplier which included the splendid entry for “The Lonious Monk”. Spot on.
@SVG__Collection Why does he look like he’s punishing those keys?
@SVG__Collection Plays every, single, note, NO ONE ELSE plays. Genius
@SVG__Collection He had such a distinctive sound and a unique method. 🤗💜💫✨🤌🏾🔥
@SVG__Collection Q: How do you spell improvisation? A: Thelonious Monk
@SVG__Collection Another year of lessons and maybe he might have made progress.🤔
@SVG__Collection I Love this guy, he is a genius!
@SVG__Collection Watching him play somehow makes sense of the tunes
