Charlie Rouse is swingin so hard with the trio Monk had too get up and dance.Listen too the bottom that Butch Warren putting down,Frankie Dunlop on the 4 piece kit just cutting up.Monk in their playing Just You Just Me, changes out of sight.

dont forget though, an orchestra's hardest task is blending. i think jazz requires more personal knowledge of the instrument, while classical is more group situated

Naturally when you're playing with sometimes a hundred or so other players.
Jazz is a much more individual style focusing on individual expression..
Classical music is more expressing what the composer of a piece feels or felt.

it can take your whole life to learn how to improvise to the extent these musicians can, on top of the time it takes to learn technique, sight reading and knowledge of harmony and theory. Nearly anyone can pick up an instrument and learn how to play a piece but only a few can learn to improvise. That is why jazz is so much harder, not only do you need to play your instrument correctly, you also need to be able to create on the spot.

I have a friend that bought up a heap of jazz after buying 'Kind of Blue' and loving it. He bought lots of monk and hated it. He says it's as though he keeps "stubbing his musical toe". I agree. The only difference is that I think it sound fucking cool. This, 'Off Minor', 'Monk's Mood' and 'Brilliant Corners' are my faves. Best tunes ever!!!

This video's description is right on the money. Word to Frankie Dunlop! Man, he is under-rated. I haven't seen this in years and I looked for it here because I remember the drum solo. Awesome. Charlie Rouse is great here too. Thanks for uploading this. The whole set from Japan is so rad.

Monk wanted to ... ( 4 weeks ago by cavaleer)

Monk wanted to break ALL the rules ALL the time. I don't think Monk ever began or ended a song the way it's supposed to be done. BUT he was always, and I mean always groovin'. That's why your friend didn't like it. Monk is like Eric Dolphy in that they never followed the so-called musical rules. Your friend may have to mature more as a man, experience the absurdities and a-rhythms of life as well as the beauty and rhythms before he's ready for Monk.

No, they were a ... ( 3 weeks ago by capnmurphycrunch)

No, they were a part of Hard bop in 1963, as the movement in jazz already had a strong following with big minds the likes of Lockjaw, Jimmy Smith, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Cannonball, and even Diz with the Norman Granz All Stars who had all been on the scene years before this. Monk did both predict and precede hard bop with his blues drenched melodies and dirty swing, but he did so almost two decades before this video was made. This video was a victory lap, not the revolution itself.
