Thelonious Monk - Pannonica

[tatacass1]

Pannonica Rothschild, musa ?

[Easleytee]

Ellington + Monk...the finest purveyors of Jazz composition in the last 50 years of the 20th Century.

[doko73]

This version is just as great as Sonny Rollins is. Rouse and Monk played together for like twelve years, Rollins only sparingly. Ill listen to this til I die...

[JRbogle86]

Monk and Rouse were meant to play together

[Blackgeoff1]

My own favourite version is on the Monk Alone in SanFrancisco album; but all Monk's versioins are different and each has it's own moments of magic. For me, Monk can do no wrong

[algail1]

I don't want to die unless i can hear this sort music in heaven. till i know I'm staying here to hear more

Bem suave :)

[bigfish0886]

The Punk Rock of the 50's!!!! LOVE IT!!!

[curiosofsigns]

@bigfish0886 hmm, quite a contentious supposition that.

[PROLiFiCK3YS]

EXACTLY RIGHTTTTT!!!!! THIS IS THE ESSENTIAL FUNDAMENTALS THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR REAL MUSICIANS!!! I APPRECIATE THIS MUSIC!!!

[closetome]

Brilliance. Sounds like lickle birds making moosic in a gigantic treehouse

[thesaucystranger]

this is kinda cool, but I like the brilliant corners version much more. gotta have those vibes.. the stereo panning/mix on this one's a bit much as well. :-/

[kevinherbert]

Monk funk..or is that Monk fonk???

[fishqwer]

What record is this from? I have the version with the vibes from Brilliant Corners, but not this one.

[Praguedive]

@fishqwer It's from the 1964 Columbia album 'Monk'. 'Brilliant Corners' is a 1957 Riverside album, so 'Pannonica' will sound different on that one. I like this one better :D

[JRbogle86]

@Praguedive Thelonious and Charlie Rouse play brilliantly together. Their version of just about anything sounds amazing to me.

[sohooded]

@fishqwer He wrote this for his friend the Baroness....

[lolmau5]

man i just saw the "baroness of jazz" amazing doc about the monk himself and miss pannonica rothschild's mutual love for music and the human identity.

[postatility]

Sounds kinda like an old Italian love song...

[John27346]

Parts of it remind me of "Fly me to the Moon"

[mb19512002]

the story behind the music, is as beautiful as the composition itself.

the "essence of jazz, beauty, and love, thru "urbanism"

[suzettegm]

So balanced a ballad....

[btgh1993]

wow

[jts1432]

you would

[billystrayhornsghost]

I love this song..it's so beautiful!!!

[AshleyLovesVideos129]

THIS is music.

[tyranus7]

I remember a really good question from some guy... If you could choose a song to play just before you die.. wich one would be?

I was between "Blue in Green" by Miles Davis and this one... but.. this is the one...

I choose Pannonica..

So enjoy.. and you listen you wouldn't regret

[vectortemple]

@tyranus7 - I'm actually going to have it played at my funeral...

[giles422]

@tyranus7 this or "Ask Me Now"

[7thvenom]

@tyranus7 WOW VERY HARD QUESTION....I LOVE "Blue in Green" but that is more a Bill Evens tune ...i'll get back to u when i gigure my song !!cheers

[fzzzzzzzy]

@tyranus7 In that case, I just wouldn't choose any song.

[connorchapman1]

First heard itt in the late 1980s A beautiful though plaintive ballad with the much under-rated Charlie Roues at his best . Lost my CD and have been looking for this for over 20 years. Many thanks for posting.

[vectortemple]

@connorchapman1 - two excellent recorded versions available on CD (IMO this one here isn't the best ) - One on Criss-Cross (Columbia) and one on Brilliant Corners - can get them anywhere for cheap... great thing about pop music being so junky now is that it makes the great music cheap, especially CD media which is going the way of vinyl - tons of great jazz CD's out there for pennies...

[donnyab]

@connorchapman1

why didn't you just buy another cd to avoid that 20 YEAR!!! wait lol
