Amazing to hear Clarke so understated. Dude could whack and wail with the best. But it marks him as a serious artist, supporting the music, not showing off.
@PathosDistanz I love Thelonious Monk, and I really love this version but your right. It definitely isn't as good a versions then "Money Jungle" from Duke watch?v=yNoLbP5s-68 .
But this version does feel more intimate. (in my opinion)

Monk is fantastic, but I think this is quite tepid in comparison to Ellington.
