Thelonious Monk turned wrong notes into the right ones.
@SVG__Collection It’s fascinating to watch him play.
@SVG__Collection Everyone is too scared of sounding uncool or like they don’t get it, but this sounds like shit.
@SVG__Collection I'm no skilled musician, but I think that part of the reason this works so well is that this rhythm section always lands on the root. It makes his discordance work.
@SVG__Collection He'd hit a wrong note, but then he'd keeping working that wrong note into the song until it was somehow relevant in all of our lives. it is US that are wrong. 🎹🎹🎹
@SVG__Collection You mean I can already do half of what Thelonious Monk did?!
@SVG__Collection I love how his ring was hanging on for dear life. It was't easy to keep with Monk's hands!
@SVG__Collection The undisputed master for that.
@SVG__Collection There’s no such thing as wrong notes
@SVG__Collection Haha, have to hear it for yourself and not just believe the hype and the cool posters. Maybe this isn't his best work but that's kind of painful to listen to
@SVG__Collection @ylecun Not melodic only rhythmic. Needed to stick to the beats.
@SVG__Collection What a great way of thinking about it now I’m listening to every note and thinking ‘holy airball! holy airball! what a save! what a great save!’
@SVG__Collection How the fvck did he do that? "He played the piano like ringing a bell". To paraphrase Chuck Berry.
@SVG__Collection Genius at work. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@SVG__Collection La seva forma de tocar el piano és com un encanteri, t'embruixa.
@SVG__Collection If I'm in a really weird mood and I'm 'not thirsty', that's how I play the instrument...at least that's what my neighbors say, because I don't really remember anything.
@SVG__Collection I like this period of jazz best. youtube.com/watch?v=7cSNNv…
@SVG__Collection Fuck this guy and anyone who pretends to like him.
@SVG__Collection The man lived outside the bubble. Pure genius.
@SVG__Collection There’s no such thing as wrong notes
@SVG__Collection A musical giant and a genius. Thank you for the music. Sir.❤️🙏
@SVG__Collection No, turns out everyone else was playing wrong.
@SVG__Collection But my jazz improv instructor told me that was bad…
@SVG__Collection And you just turned the wrong notes into the right ones.
