Pocas veces tiene uno la oportunidad de ver en video y apreciar en vivo, la genialidad y el virtuosismo de este gran pianista catalán. El gran TETE en su mejor forma con un conocimiento de la armonía y el mundo MONKiano sin igual. Una joya realmente este registro.
The greatest jazz pianist to ever come from Europe. Tete had complete understanding of jazz idiom generally and of Monk music specifically. He managed to sound like Monk and like himself at the same time (not an easy thing).
JuanDeCarmen - First, you not telling me anything I didn't know already. Second, how is that related to anything in my comment?.... I was talking about musical sounds not the language.
Guy on my job said Puerto Ricans etc don't speak Spanish they used to speak 3 languages in Spain. Castille ,Aragon, and in Barcelona ,Catalonian. Between France and Spain there are Basques who may be Celtic folks lol. This great jazz pianist is from Cstalunya or Catalonia.
HURST KEVIN Puerto Ricans do speak Spanish, the same as Americans or Australians speak English, just with minor differences. In Spain there are 4 recognized official languages: Spanish (also called Castellano) in whole Spain, Basque in the Basque Country, Catalan in Catalonia, Galician in Galicia.
I know ! Mr friend was talking about regional differences. Another friend says Spanish friend when he means Cuban etc. In USA many say they are Spanish when they mean Spanish-speaking. LOL
+jgaldo Here are some I heard: 2'30": Straight, no Chaser 12': In Walked Bud 15': Misterioso 19': Well you Needn't 21': April in Paris 23'50": Sweet and Lovely 26'30": Rhythm-a-Ning (I may have missed some!)
+Gerard Caen Thank you much Gerard. i was hoping to get the name of the 1st 2 minutes or so, which sound much like terry Adams of NRBQ, whom Monk has had a profound influence on several levels.
