How do you explain Monk? At first he sounds all wrong,then you realize he's beyond all right. He has a one of a kind sound something uniquely special.
ASIAN(KOREAN<CHINESE< JAPANESE) Musicians are amazing, their language is based on pitch nuances and rhythmical differences , the kids pick that up, its not in DNA itsin the mother language.
@0lyella I didn't necessarily understand the "so black" comment as a racist remark... Black people gave us gospel, blues, funk, R&B, and many other great things in music! I believe there are emotions only a black man/woman can express and/or create.. :)
Then again, I might have understood it wrong... :D
@dizyart not black as in the color, or negative as in film noir or a sub-genre of metal, but black as in race. The original poster implies that the song is inherently and exclusively "black" which is both separatist and racist; as the only way the statement could be true is if the song were created by someone wholly oblivious to and uninfluenced by anything that isn't black, which is clearly not the case here.
@0lyella I feel that there is a thing called racial culture, as in black culture, hispanic culture, native american culture, asian culture, and this quite possibly runs in our DNA... Ignoring these differences is politically correct to the point of ignorance. Of course, these cultures influence each other to great extent, but this piece really gives you a sense of uncut and uncensored black feel. I am sure this kind of impulse cannot be made by a white musician and I say this with utter respect.
politically incorrect? PC stands 4 Poppycock to the point of insanity made policy! nice racial blast with the white guy can't do it thing..and who is the racists? wow.
@dizyart thats some shit white folk say so why not you huh .i think monk twist shit to untwist it later.much like we humans play pentatonic til we get judo chopped then we play halfsteps and tri-tones to be able to play pentatonic again to our hearts delight, kung fu kick! chuck norris will kick yo ass politically incorrectly.and you'll say ''thank you mr. white man now im able to play pentatonic again,yayee.
Sort of agree with you I pretty much like any music from Jazz to Classical and everything in between, black music has a rhythm, a certain indecipherable "funky" timing - Monk had it LOTS - Coltrane to me did not, his music was way more cerebral, you can hear it in funk and East African guitar as well. EA guitar is fucking amazing.
Its sort of well African - based around the timing produced by drums etc. [I am not a musician obviously].
@Snietakrowa I've got this from a double vinyl by Doxy records call "Genius of modern music" from a session with Gene Ramey on bass and the legend Art Blakey on drums. Hope this help!
Every time I here Thelonious' music I feel like I'm being drawn into some sacred place.

@ack848 That is the best explanation and description of Monk I've ever read or heard. I wish I had put it that way myself.

PS. PC has allowed a "black" man who was born in Kenya be sitting Pres. PC is dangerous at best.

I see what you mean, but Berry 'borrowed' his licks from Aaron 'T-Bone Walker'.
Just listen to Walker's 'Long skirt baby blues' from 1947 to hear the contrapuntal attack.
