  • simply great

  • Max Roach is such an amazing drummer, both in terms of skill and creativity. How the hell did he play both set and timpani at the same time?

  • Darn, Overmodulated. Looking at this in track-view, it's a throw-away. Otherwise, it's such a fantastic track, unforgetable...

  • Simple yet Sophisticated, Bizarre and Brilliant, Monk is one of the most unique composers and pianists of the 20th century.

  • Surprising similarity to F.U by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

  • @528freddy holy shit i am a big rhcp fan (from before fusciante returned) and i never even noticed. and ive been listening to monk for a decade.... wow.

  • @528freddy I trust the 'Peppers' did it as a bit of an homage to Monk...or heaven forfend they simply stole it!

  • @jimdivax i agree because they name him as the composer so they knew what they were doing!^^

  • This is so good!

  • This stirred something in my soul...Awesome!

  • I gotta be frank here. I want to know what Max Roach's setup looked like pretty badly.

  • Monks playing makes me tingle.Oh god and sonny how great is his style.

  • never heard this version bfore

  • nasty

  • wow the timpani hh cool

  • There is no greater trumpet solo in the history of music than the one here by Clark Terry. It gives me chills every time.

  • @jimsjazzz If you like Trumpets check out "Trumpet Kings"

    Joe Turner/Gillespie/Terry/Eldridg­e/Edison....trumpets everywhere.

  • It's the most, daddy o.

  • I've never heard this version of Bemsha Swing. Please list the personnel on this recording and any other info. It's Great! - Thanks.
