I prescribe an hour of Monk per day. And as many refills as needed.
Thanks Doc! I hope it cures my Thelonius Monk addiction
you are one doctor that knows how to write a prescription... legible too haha 😄
@NightDiver Go fuck yourself with all your hipster 'changing the subject' carp...
@NightDiver 1m40s left.... Then I can formulate a response... Brb...
@NightDiver "Mingus Monk" has few specific hits on YT... Is it a single person or is "Mingus Monk" a pair (like Stephan Grapeli or Guns/Roses)?
"Sometimes it's to your advantage for people to think you're crazy" - Thelonius MONK
I can't imagine any situation where I wish to be considered 'crazy' no matter how brilliant I may be...which is exactly the problem. when one is at one's most brilliant...they think you're crazy. at least that was my and continues to be my experience, meh
@@lizthor-larsen7618 yes! Absolutely agree with you. that s why Monk genius said this.
sure let's you get away with wearing what EVER hat you deem appropriate for the occasion ... ;)
That's just crazy talk.
Damn straight!
"Everyone is a genius at being themselves"-- Thelonious Monk
i can think of i exception but wont mention him now
@@ned756 too cold
@@NowsNu ?
@@ned756 i like it
i love the quote since, to me, we can ONLY be ourselves - anyhow at anytime anywhere, which is always here and now - we are always genius at being ourselves... cheers !! xD I love monk so much
This kicks so much ass it's unreal.
soo much
my arse is bruised to oblivion
You know, the more I listen to many of Monk's recordings, the more I appreciate the symbiosis between Monk and tenor sax Charlie Rouse, who to me is one of the most underrated musicians of the bebop era and beyond. And Butch Warren on bass with Ben Riley here, they too deserve great credit. You don't get people to play with Monk who don't have their stuff together. I realize that here, they're in Paris doing a festival, and a lot of old favorites, but that soul connection between Monk & Rouse still stands out to me. They go back, brothers & sisters! And bless them and their enormous talents-- They bring us forward!
Agreed.
amazing that you can write very long
No complaints about Ben Riley's drumwork either.
what a great name you have
One night at the Five Spot, Thelonious seemed to be in one of his moods, would play a few bars, walk off the stage, let the others carry the rest of the song; come back for next piece, same thing - right through each set. And, do not think any of us were disappointed - because his guys handled everything so well, right up to standard. We all loved Monk not just for the notes he played, but for himself, something about his stance in life; & his players likewise. All good, original & unified.

Thank you.
Gracias
TT, great work, thank you 👍
Asante, Asante sana!! (Kiswahili)
Thank you, Thank you very much!!
Imagine: you go to work and this is what you do; you get off of work and you have Paris. That is a definition of "Heaven".
better definition than all the ones i've heard so far!!
Sitting back in my house in Brazil listening to this. Sunday morning coffee is hot, just got robbed yesterday. These notes were the thing keeping me going.
Shortly after my wife left me. She took the kids, my mothers car, and my family dog.
Hang on, man! And keep on listening to Monk! One and all cure for every illness or sorrow. Been through a divorce too. Tough time, but you'll pull through!
she does not like music or style or both
I feel yah.........same level of life sucks........jazz helps balance your brain......through trauma.......tgfj.....
With that Minecraft profile pic I honestly do not believe you for a single second
Lol after checking your channel, you def are trolling for likes. Almost had it
missing live concerts at jazz clubs...
We'll get back to them soon enough..
TH-cam has a great live session called " Live at smalls jazz club" . The club is in NY , I watched a really good show live on youtube last night.
Yeah... now we know the things we truly value the most.
will never come back, they put 1984 upon us. RIP beatiful world
@@LDacic They are saying that since early 2020, wont happen.
as a child growing up in S.W.oklahoma, while all of my parents friends record selection included Country music, popular music etc, my father's collection was jazz and western swing. I grew up listening to Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillispie, Charles Mingus, Theo Monk, John Coltrane Sonny Rollins, Bob Willis etc. At the time I just took it that as my dad's music. later I came to appreciate the music my father had turned me onto.
👍
lucky you, to have had that in OK, instead of a steady diet of bad country
George, you speak to me, man! I was born in Enid, which is not so far from you. Music speaks across generations and cultures. We listen, we understand. We can be so much more than what we were born appreciating; let us all remember our origins, enjoy our new groove, and look forward to our next Big Thing. Music is a universal language.
Charlie Rouse-perfection
Hip as hell
@@richardfeatherfeather9231 Often overlooked - as good as the greats, Rollins, Coltrane.
yes baby....how bEAUTFULL life can be…….joy of life...….thanks Monk..you are my gardian Angel...

Hello?
Listening to this music transports me to 50s and 60s. The architecture, the clothes, the thinking, and mostly the atmosphere. Monk is a state of mind.
Yo estoy de acuerdo.
Me too. Just a girl in an Austin Healey 3000
Grandma thanks for sharing the type of music you like and thanks for putting up with the classic Rock bands I listen to but hey you became a KISS fan and I listen to your favorites at night after the long work days
Wha?
Listening in the wee hours of the morning and wanting to imbibe a jack and coke at the local speakeasy. pull the blinds Monk and play me some tunes! This man was a genius.
....I need more alcohol. Great man, great musicians.
Old no. 7 always helps ease the pain of existence. Ole Jack knows...
A large whisky and this, perfect...
Those opening notes hit and a wave of relaxation washes over me.
Monk's style proves that you can be different and great at the same time.
Isn't greatness being different or unique?
@@gratefulgregg9058 Yes-with the possible exception of the Elephant Man.🐘👀😳😵
I’d say the latter entails the former!
Quel bonheur d'écouter Thelonious Monk avec son ami et duettiste en totale symbiose Charlie Rouse au sax ténor ! Merci aussi à Butch Warren à la basse et à Ben Riley ! Quel beau quartet ! Du jazz de rêve et éternel ! Merci
I'm struck by how the other players meld so seamlessly into Monk's style, temperament and energy. It's amazing that even though every bit of his genius is evident in his solo piano work, the musical impact can be enhanced so well by the ensemble. What's been documented here is a treasure to marvel over for ages to come!
Well said you are really listening
@@ikongchin3088
Surely not ? .. that’s illegal !
@@lovewavesdriftingforever say what !?
We all know Monk was a genius, and what always further amazes me is how great a pairing he and Charlie Rouse on sax were!
yesss... the sax is very stand out on this track i agreeee...
Yes, magic.
They were like identical twins in musical sensibility.
A large whisky and this wonderful music, what a way to end the day, thanks for posting this 👍😎
no..no... 'Brandy'
@@johnlannikk2701 Whisky. Straight, no chaser.
The good old Thelonious Monk....... I discovered this genius by listening to "Misterioso". I IMMEDIATELY left the band I was in.
I love this Monk Album
It's so AMAZING. And to think that Thelonius Monk almost lost his cock while practicing for this concert makes one appreciate the beauty of it all the more dearly.
Like magic. What a mind. It takes real discipline to achieve that kind of freedom.

Listening to this in Kingsville, Texas on November 29th, 2020, one of the first cold days of the winter, and it feels like I'm there with Monk, or he's here with me. Absolutely based.
based.
based.
Hey Joseph, I'm listening to Monk just outside of Kingsville, Ontario, Canada, and we are also experiencing cold conditions, and about an inch of snow. Not bad for December. Nothing like Monk to warm up a cold late fall night. Take care down in Texas!!
i come back to this a couple times a week just for ben riley... blows my mind. every. time.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful concert, world heritage.
Greetings from México.

i laugh when i hear people say Monk lacked technique. Not even Tatum, Peterson, Bud, Jarrett, Corea had better technique when it came to rhythmic effectiveness, within the scope of their own musical vocabulary. Monk invented his own lines, completely changed the jazz piano approach to comping, had his own technique and he executed flawlessly, live, made us DANCE. Play me even once, the descending whole tone lines as crystal clear/in the pocket, go ahead homie. make me dance.
Like any iconoclast, he paid the price. Very few like him before or since. Like Vincent, his work endures and will certainly outlast the naysayers...
Bless his spirit in these troubled times.

What do you mean?
man monk and the band are so...good.yeah thats the word.
hahahaha :) :) ;)
nothing but a 2-hour statement of a true jazz genius. impossibly well done
Love this Concert! COVID times....
THANK YOU
This is truly a gem. One of the best recordings of Monk's classic quartet I've heard. I'm very grateful to have heard Monk and this quartet live in 1967. Got his autograph! And even that was unique.
wish I could have experienced that, and I'm 20 and its sad seeing music like this die out
@@tydog61 Keep listening and spreading the word. Have you seen the movie, "Straight, No Chaser"?
@@vincemccord8093 no I haven't I will give it a watch
@@tydog61 Also PBS American Masters Series has a video on him. Both are excellent background. Amazingly, Monk made the cover of Time magazine in 1964.
@@vincemccord8093 Monk was a protege of some baroness.
I think she helped get Monk on the Time cover.
My heart goes out to all people trying to make [edit: a living on] music. I would love to have been there for this recording.
This is so unbelievably good. Peak.
Extraordinario.
One of the greatest recordings of all time. His music is more enjoyable with the applause.
My first monk album. 15 or 16 years old. What a strike of luck
th-cam.com/video/etBmUCRH-UQ/w-d-xo.html
A fella on here commented on how Monk can make you dance. All that talk about technique and how he had bad technique, etc. This is a choice live recording of his best band. His Columbia recordings, except for Monk (8 or so in all) are all complete masterpieces. Monk is worth owning, but don't start on that one. They don't get the credit they deserve. Monk took time to seep into my bones. His music first struck me as simple, then a tune here and there on the album I first bought, CrissCross, started registering to me. Got catchy. Then over several listens, the whole album lit me up. Every moment of the album became a whole deep enjoyment. Each album did the same thing the same way. Mingus said he had the best meter of anyone. What he is doing then, is swinging. He swings using timing, and he swings by adding the perfect tonal touches at the right time. He also brought a childlike enthusiasm into his music that was and still is not matched by anyone else; the joy is inescapable. Third, he often began his studio tunes with these beautiful stride pieces that brought the band in at a time that couldn't happen more appropriately. He built tension on the intro that was so tight, and then the band would come in and the tune is elevated at that moment to a chemical reaction. He had his perfect band during those years, and he had worked out every detail of his songs, many of which were already in is repertoire for many years. Lastly, he brought you to city as he knew it. You can hear the city, streetcars, on several great tunes. That also is some of the enthusiasm I'm talking about. Altogether, nobody swung as hard as Monk. He will always be the top. Nobody can make me dance like Monk. Check out those Columbia recordings.
LOL. *Monk* was the first Monk album I owned, and it worked fine for me. Nostalgia, maybe, "the first one"? Umpteen recordings later, still one of my favorites, especially with "Liza."
excellent view!
What I love about listening to stuff like this is, is it is completely unsanitised. Just like minded human beings playing instruments around a rhythym and a feeling. No pitch correct, no quantising notes to be "in the right place" just a bunch of musicians, as my insightful son would say " pure vibin' " fancy a 32 bar double bass solo? go for it, in fact have another 32 and give me chance to get to the bar for a refill.
Nice....
Love your review @ Jazz is like minded human beings playing instruments around a "rhythym and a feeling"
.... I couldn't have said it any better!!! ❤

wow thanks for posting !!!!
monk, a one of a kind genius with a heart of gold, forever changed the piano and the sound of jazz. Immortal
I listen to this concert over and over. Never get tired of it.
Second time for me to be at a concert of T. Monk in this wonderful place, Maison de l'ORTF Paris, 10 meters behind the keyboard !
ça fait rêver... Né en 70, trop jeune pour avoir vu Monk en concert, mais avec les images d'autres concerts, on peut se faire un film dans sa tête en écoutant ce live! Imagination sans limite avec Monk!!!
What a sound so tight as can be .......
music if forbiden by your prophete so shut the fuck up, bigot !
@@rinahallLet's not get ugly here. Let's instead remember Yusef Lateef.
Monk is the perfect blend of dissonant notes & cords with swing time melody
Amazing artists! 🥳
One of the biggest of the 20th century, unfortunately almost unknown to the public.
esse som me deixa repleta d felicidade
Man - awesome bass playing.
Monk è sempre una meraviglia! Grandissimo.
Maravilloso concierto!!
Thanks for this post I share it on YT
I just started listening to Monk recently and I knew he was a musical genius but didn’t realize how much of a genius he really was!
I have found over the years, I thought I knew, then I listened again and realized I didn't really know. I think it happens every few years. It ain't a bad way to live, I don't think.
The escargot is sweet in the air, onions are being braised. Lysol cleaner is what’s on the menu. We all take a sip. We’re in the yard and we only got 15 mins. Stole the lysol from the guard, me and the boys are getting fucked up.
Not sure what this comment is even about but I love the word salad!
I've clicked through so many videos, through so many incredible, weird ambient landscapes.. I feel like I'm going on a train trip, seeing a succession of crazy, never-before-seen scenes from history, important, weird musics through the window as I pass.. there's so much to explore. So many places to alight and dwell in the ambiences that are on offer. This stop, in particular is brilliant 👍
Brilliant indeed. Best thing is that other videos are presented along side that one may not have run across. Jazz is endlessly fascinating I think.
you on acid too?
@@crazylikekrazy417 No, it's just splendid musician's literature, homemade ;-)
joy of life

Музика бомбезна ! Імпровізація чудова і правдива!
Oh, This is Wonderful!
I think it was Coltrane who said that if you ever lost your place in one of Monk's complex structures, it was like falling down an elevator shaft. You had a hell of a time getting back in.
No matter how much you study him, it's endless
Indeed it is

Quel putain de chef d'oeuvre.
Perfection
amazing.
Sublime pleasure.
So well recorded
fantastic
tout simplement fabuleux...quelle époque formidable ces génies nous ont fait, et nous font encore , vivre
Absolutely it’s music that lives and goes on forever ♾
That drummer is on fire this whole gig! Funky and great! The series of rolls at 33:00 is just a small part of a captivating drum performance. Wait til he rolls that ride and hat. Ben Riley ain't no joke!
i love his solos soo much theyre groovy af... effortless yet captivating... he aint worried about chops he just wants to speak his mind... i freak out every time haha
meh

Ben Riley had just joined Monk's band less than four weeks before this concert.
Monk and Rouse were magic together. Always puts a smile on my dour face.
