  • Ben Riley was a quality drummer. Up there with Tony Williams, Roy Haynes, and other top drummers of that day

    As a jazz person told me once- " A day without Monk is like a day without sunshine!!" I live to listen to him every single day of my life!!!

    I love the way Monk takes an idea to the point where he gets kind of lost, then he waits for a moment to pick up the tune. So cool and unbothered.
  • Not only Monk, but also a brilliant drummer, a talented saxophonist, and an amazing bassistβ€¦πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΌ

    Further proof of what a wonderful (and underrated) tenor player Charlie Rouse was. Great solo on Rhythm-a-Ning.

    I like his spartan playing.He made a whole piece out of one note.

    In the 90s, I went to an Asian restaurant in Rom and we went into the adjacent jazz bar for a drink. They were having open mike night and the M.C. said he had a special friend who wanted to play. Thelonius Monk sat down and played for a couple of hours. He told stories of his friends and the old days. What a priceless night!

    Music that age with time and get younger every day we enjoy

    yes, radiant radish indeed. I love this - thank you for posting. When Monk et al gets in your head it's there and back, it's freedom, like it's just you and them, big window to be walking around in all day. This music, these guys, are rapidly becoming the only thing that makes sense.
