Wow! Experiencing these giants of jazz again has made my day.

[@golds04]

Monk. ❤❤❤

[@Archie583]

A few of my heroes playing together. Goosebumps still, over 52 years later.

[@felixkcl]

Their ability of dynamic control, very contrasting dynamic yet still super groovy and smooth, is terrific!

[@20thcenturyremnant]

The greatest time of jazz!

[@jurgendewaal7251]

Terrific, excellent music, thanks so much !!!

[@itumelengmosailane1192]

That percussion revive my soul

[@miguelherrera6762]

Monk didn't just write jazz standards; he was THE standard.

[@thomas.vanderzwan]

God, that tempo in 'A Night in Tunisia'. Incredible.

[@chapmyers9272]

Terrific. Monk is lovely to hear; personal distress shows in his face. I understand there’s a recording of this combo recorded two weeks later in London.

[@kelvinbriggs1571]

They were snapping on the percussion

[@sherisherilady]

What a gem thank you

[@sergioesmoris]

Hermoso poder ver a todos estos genios juntos !!! ❤❤❤

[@jtl2112]

Classic 👍

[@Angeleyes83]

Esta mistura de jazz com bossa nova resulta muito bem, dá um carácter especial ao jazz, dá-lhe um toque tropical. Gosto muito. Obrigado por estes momentos bem passados. Protejam-se do Covid-19. Boa sorte.

[@douglasalexandre1795]

Muito bom

[@patrikbifeldt7227]

Al McKibbon - jazz double bassist

[@petepoulos]

This is the tour Al McKibbon and Art Blakey said Thelonious Monk only spoke a few words to them the whole time. Later he wrote the reason why he didn't hardly speak was that he was surprised to see how ugly they were. Wow.

[@Silllywalks]

😂 🤦🤷😂😂

[@1Raphael1664]

What was wrong with monk here?

[@ALFHAKANSUNDIN]

This must be Thelonious Monk toward the end of his career. He plays as usual but a little subdued

[@barbarabrown3381]

He was on a high dose of Thorazine. Same thing with Nina Simmone.

[@frankfeldman6657]

Monk is playing great, but looks unwell. It's troubling. I know this was near the end, not of his life, but of his playing in public.
