    Monk always sounds fresh and never dated.

    Rouse was such underrated player. A huge influence on my own development and on how to construct a solo from the first note to the last. He was a master .

      Totally agree incredibly underrated and frankly some horn players I have known try to bash him 'cuz I think THEY wanted to be the tenor player in Monk's quartet. He has this understated "Woody-ness" in tone that is just so cool. Definitely agree a perfect complimentary fit for Monk and vice versa, sometimes the timing of the whole quartet is mind blowing especially Monk [Tenor player here.].

    Rouse was the cat who got closest to Monk´s music for my ears. With all respect to the other giants who played with him. Rouse is to be checked out
    on any of his own records. Serious Business.

    Frankie Dunlap was a perfect drummer to compliment with his swinging pulse the music of Monk.A swinging driving drummer. He should have received more recognition for his creative talent. I saw him play with Lionel Hampton once. And he had the same drive as with Monk. And a vrry nice person.

    People sleep on monk's chord voicings, comping snd almost modal block chords.
    Its obvious he is moving the voicings around melodically. He loved to use parallel or similar dyads sich as 6ths.
    He also used the left hand 5th bombs thst Mccoy tyner would later become famous for.
    He would comp using the melody. And when you solo over that its easy to create counterpoint with the melody
