"Some day, perhaps, we will find out why Monk withdrew from the world in his last years of life. Was it by choice, or was it imposed by conditions beyond his will? Did the private world he had built for himself, and which for so long seemed to make him almost invulnerable, break down? No matter what the answer might be, no matter how sad it is that the music he could have made (and must have heard) in those years will never be, it is a miracle of sorts that he was here at all, that he accomplished what he did with such integrity." -- Dan Morgenstern , Thelonious Monk

Solo Monk should be called The Loneliest Monk because he's playing all by himself.

Потрясающая техника игры. Никогда подобного не слышал. Вместе с Тэйлором, не глядя, заношу его в список любимых джазовых пианистов.

BTW, following up on my last: if your German is up to par and wanna know more, read that book 'Thelonious Monk und der Free Jazz' by Jurgen Arendt. It considers the heavy influence of his revolutionary style of playing and composing on famous founding free jazz artists and also shows how he directly influenced their music by playing with them.

@GoatUser: Monk's songs obviously aren't free jazz by any stretch of the imagination, but his playing style is. That's why people tag it that way, even if it's wrong. Still, without Monk having exposed jazz to his way of playing, Free Jazz would have sounded a lot different. He inspired and/or played with all the major artists that shaped that style of jazz.

Indeed Monk was not part of the avant-garde free jazz scene, but he undeniably did inspire huge parts of it. So it's not even that wrong, really.

People hear somebody play weird free sounding sounds, they thinkin: "that's free jazz right there." Can't blame em for that. Jazz is always free, that's the beauty of it. That's what makes it appealing.

Man, I could understand a jazz newbie tagging this stuff as Free Jazz having no real idea of what that actually is, and I mean he had his harsher moments, but how did it get popular enough to get to the fifth most used tag? I'm pretty damn fuckin' sure not even a single track he ever made in his life was free jazz.

I agree completely. In fact it's my favorite Monk album and one of my top 10-15 albums of all time.
