Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight

[tsandv]

I was there. just one of my great musical experiences !

[tsandv]

Recorded in Oslo in the early 1960s. a

[TheEBKJ]

My god, this piece is fucking sexy.

[KA1ZR]

Fantastic, although I now understand why Miles Davis once told Monk to stop backing him. His comping style is very different and unusual. Great recording of the tune.

[Faustina1327]

This is my favourite version too. Everybody plays so awesomely and everything about it is perfect. And crikey, who disliked it? Their finger must have slipped or something!

[lagotaenelojo87]

pufff

[altareggo]

One word... legendary!!!!

[djjjamin]

i love how all of monk's recordings are so different from each other. I bet he could play one song 50 times and have a completely different feel every time.

[abiynery]

i pity the fool who pressed the dislike button on Monk

[misterfincher23]

it´s like a revelation...

[Chitoxin]

Amazing... can't think of anything but that word to describe this piece. That quartet worked like a swiss watch.

[illwynd92]

mind music, Rouse is fantastic out front, one of many underrated and unpublicized jazz artists. Monk is Monk, what else can be said. Rouse however sets the tone, in my opinion.

[dstrats]

Hell yeah!



[jesusvazquez77]

the piano player looks like he's fresh off the street

[MrSimonEskildsen]

@jesusvazquez77 thats a funny comment dude

[adarkwisdom]

Legendary.



[thisisjosh95]

amazing music, gotta say the drummer's technique makes him look like he's stirring soup =P amazing though!!!!!!

[Chitoxin]

@thisisjosh95 It appears like that because he's using brushes to play the drums. That S movement makes a shshshs sound that fills the music.

[Crazee108]

Omg I forgot the name of this song... I got it stuck in my head, i first heard it a couple years ago. An hour of searching youtube, finally found the version i like!

[kbZEROpxn]

Now there's your picardy third... and wait till the walls stop ringing... now... that was a moment. :)

[markkayary]

eargasm! sax+sexy=saxy!

[deadstockk]

The version with Rouse on sax is just phenomenal

[skeet007]

i want this on vinyl. real talk

[fatguyonpc]

Love Rouse's solo, really gets into it :)

The end was a bit awkward though, they were all just standing there for ages.

[TheMrMysteriouso]

Haha, its nice to hear Charlie Rouse's sax playing in tune on this piece

[natebiz]

Smokin' solos, epic ending..this version is the CUT

[natebiz]

this version is SMOKIN

[SophisticatedSound]

This was removed a few months back. Music like this should never be kept from people's ears. Keep reposting if this is removed again please.

Monk's opening chords are just pure genius. Next to Duke Ellington Monk is the most prolific composer in American music.

[tangoazul2009]

Impresionante, muchas gracias!

[DaleCredico]

How did Charlie Rouse ascend through the fires to tell a tale of overwordly beauty and wonder with nothing but tones played through the bent horn of humanity?

You'ver helped answer that very question,

tight here, right now, my friend.

Thnat Big!

[dlmaston]

@DaleCredico - Aw, man! Brother, did you ever get THAT one right! Charlie Rouse was one of my jazz heroes growing up......and hearing THIS version of ''Round Midnight'......just DOES IT! That's so good.....I gotta listen to it again!!

[DonCarlo4Broadway]
