If you're listening to a pianist playing a Chopin etude and you hear a wrong note, the pianist has a problem. If you're listening to Monk and you hear a wrong note, you have a problem.
The earliest recollection I remember of hearing this guy's music is when I was 9 years old im 62 now the magic of his music in the way that he played has never faded. Thenouinus Monk is simply timeless.
you know, if you’re bothered by the “wrong notes” you don’t have to listen to this right? You can always turn on some Katy Perry or something easier to get your head around. You’ll find no wrong notes.
Heh -- To paraphrase an excerpt from an old Winton Marsalis album responding to a musician who complains about the "incorrect notes" in a Monk piece -- "Monk plays more music in those wrong notes than you've played in your entire CORRECT life". There was a tempering in pianos of the day that made certain notes sound sour to our modern ears -- b natural above C, for example. Thelonious Monk does indeed choose some discordant notes, especially in his stride left hand. It's just part of his music -- for better or worse.
I've seen Louis Hayes in Molde Jazz Festival Molde is in Norway. I loved when he played and sang the song from the Beatles Norwegian Wood. It was a great Jazz and Blues Festival. Time flys.Oh I forgot to say this was in 1976.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING I saw Oteil and Melvin Seals in Portland last year where they played this song, and I've been searching for it everywhere. THANK YOU
