Thelonious Monk - I Mean You (Live From Salle Pleyel, Paris, France/1969) 

Charlie Rouse the sax man who really understood Monk.

True legends will live on forever. 2022 and this is still 🔥

I recently fell in love with Monks style of playing. Listen to him every night sleeping. Such a unique style. I need to watch some documentaries on him sometime. About his life growing up.

Wow! I'd say that the continuous collaboration, the synergy, of Thelonious Monk and Charlie Rouse- is literally the greatest hidden gem in all of music.

....Paris Wright is still drumming in Harlem in 2024......he's been like a brother to me since the 70s

I used to do my calculus homework to this music when I was in engineering school. Only problem was I lost my place in homework when wandering into the Monk dimension!

Dynamite band here! Monk is Monk and all is well. Beautiful. ♥

Incredible!!! I'm so glad to have this music to go to. Thank you, Thelonius Monk!!!

Steve Callahan brought me here with a statement from Thelonious Monk "Just because you're not a drummer doesn't mean you don't have to keep time."

God Bless Thelonius Monk God Rest His Soul

Big thelonious sphere Monk 🏆🏅🎖🎁🎫🥇🏆

Best fuckin music ever!!! Every time I turn on the radio these days,I just want to take my own life.

Friedrich Nietzsche's killin it on bass

El monje siempre me sorprende. Pura dinamita todos.Charlie Rouse el mejor saxo tenor para Monk. La bateria y el bajo geniales.

Charlie Rouse could make Monk dance frantically before his piano solos., absolute synergy!!

🎼💜🌺🙋‍🎼🎹 Merci

Great upload been a fan of Monk since 02, and being able to see this song, and many others from other dates an shows really adds to the enrichment and complexity of and from my love for this music...saying so much without using a word

You monked my day!

Just incredible, thanks for sharing.x

Excellent band. Rouse had a thin, brittle tone and clipped phrasing, but he always came out swinging. Perfect foil for Monk.

That left hand was golden

Gênios!!!

These are Institutions of Music! 👌🏿

Wow this is amazing

Amazing!!! ❤

lo bien que mete los acentos de bombo

Charlie Rouse gives me a vibe like...Coltrane & Ben Webster morphed into a tenor player. & I'm not implying that Rouse wasn't unique.

Life is good again

Loves me some Jazz.

Bass owns it

The master of dissonance.

Who are the other cats on this track? All the guys are playing what you would expect but, Monk is breaking every rule of harmony in the book, and it still sounds cool!

Man this is to sweat like a boss

良い、良いっすねお見事ですマスター、ロックおかわりください

LOL Mr. Borders you should try Sirius satellite radio's Real Jazz, but I definitely know what you mean. LOL

The Jazz Buddha.

Funny ,this drummer plays the same style and has the same movements as Frank Dunlop who toured Europe with Monk and Charlie Rouse. I saw that quartet in Amsterdam with Franky Dunlop on drums. ps Vasco Pimental, Billy Higgins looks different!

Who knows who is the percussionist in the beginning? Philly Jo Jones is playing as well. Does anyone knows who is the Bass player?.

Automatic like because it's Thelonious Monk

Dis de stuff dat makes me proud of being black.

Who is that on percussion ?

YA NO ERES CALLE

bass

ジョニ-ジョプリン

Looks like Billy Higgins on drums.

Pause

I've just decided that Monk is 3rd way dissonance - Schoenberg, Weber , Berg are 'Romantic' dissonant angst , Messiaen is colour filled dissonance and Monk is dissonance as rhetorical / organising / theatrical principle its what Coltrane talked about when playing with Monk as like "falling down an elevator shaft in the dark". Its why Monk is so enjoyable to listen to and to play , his tunes aren't primarily about emotions, excepting Ruby my Dear and Crepuscule with Nellie, but instead they are made up of opportunities to surprise and delight viewers and players.

What's the type of that funny cap on Monk's head? Is it a Jewish (Hasidim) cap ?

وصليين حاجة ماشي حاجة مانسحق وصلة ماشي حاجة مانسحق ماء الراقي مانسحث الرقية يا قتلي بالحياة يا ارهاب ارداهميىمن صفير مانسحق الأمن الدولة بو صغير. صفير صغير رانيىنتمرميد وصليين حنان الصايم وصليين

sloppy drums Im guessing he toured and didn't want to bring his rhythm section... OUCH

Monk's worst bassist. Why was he hired?

Coolest cats 😎
