[johnnyt471]

[freakyhead20]

thanks -=)

[proutsos]

Nice white piano!

[andyl666]

Pretty good ... your rhythmic feel here is very much 'blues' rather than 'jazz' - not that there's anything wrong with that

[yepz4]

nice striden and bass walkin

[Biznemo1]

Hey man! Sounds beautiful. Interesting counter-point. With good Monkish humor, hehe!

[candyjunkie101]

im working on this song right n ow and your rendition is great. keep on playing!

[cldgates]

imho ther isn enuf space - play th piano like you wud play th sax - take beathes - around bout th 1 min mark ul hear wot i mean - thers 2 much happenin - stab chords in - an take it easy with th LH - its 2 busy - sayin tht its just my opinion an i cud b totally wrong but its how i wud play it and sorry 4 th spellin! (oh and b more agressive!) x charlie

[freakyhead20]

I know my Jazz aint that good as my boogie woogie. I have to work more on my chords,impro..etc etc. :)

[blendingbone]

its hard not to sound like boogie playing solo though, cause you're doing the bass and chords at the same time...

[ltotheatothendon]

Try some rythmic displacement like Monk did, that's what made it so fucking cool when he played it.

[CCEX]

Your interpretation of Monk is respectable, and I mean that as an insult. Monk is now as academically respectable as Bartok was 40 years ago, and I'm afraid that academic respectability ossifies music. Listen to Blue Monk from Christmas Eve 1954 for some unnerving surprises not heard here. Even in 1971, with the Giants of Jazz, Monk, Dizzy, Sonny Stitt, etc. were finding new dissonances on this old blues. Please don't tell me that in the 21st Century "Blue Monk" is a mere piano exercise!

[RWstunts]

i see where you are coming from, but this is only the piano part

[joetighe]

Love it!!

[rejschaap]

Great song, very nice playing!

[mechduck2005]

A bit tame.. but nice work! You have the song down.

[scaldelaude]

super mais on voit pas ta main droite.

[kentpaul65102]

SERIOUS SKILLZ ... but yeah. a lil improv' wudnt hurt. 5/5

[islandcrimes]

there is a twitch also in monks playing an abrutive sharp twitch

but really great keep it up

[Jazzfan666]

Just a little bit more surprising moments.Don't be as freaky as Thelonius but a little bit more wrong tones,surprising breaks and things like that would be cool.

[freakyhead20]

yeah ok..but with the kinda ragtime rythm in the left hand, I heard that ones in a piece that he played, so but I know what you mean :)

[Jazzfan666]

This was an interpretation of the BLUES Blue Monk,very classical,very relaxed and very good.Sometimes it would be great to be more crazy,you understand?

But nevertheless,this is great, sounds like a professional boogie woogie piano player.Play it again!

[freakyhead20]

What do you mean with "to be more crazy". I should play more like thelonious?? Use more freaky phrases?

[dodeka]

Fabulous! Great take on a great masterpiece!
