Thelonious Monk - In Walked Bud

[thejohnmarchant]

Can't imagine what it would have been like to have seen Monk Live...awesome!

[BLACKIESBOY]

I never understood jazz for this very reason... Do they write lyrics, but just don't sing them? Or did this guy write lyrics after?

'Cuz jazz always sounds like musical singing. It's like the lead instrument is always singing a song, but you don't gotta have lyrics for people to understand it... Or at least that's what I thought it was until I heard songs with lyrics to them.

O.o

@BLACKIESBOY Monk wrote this tune years before Jon Hendricks put lyrics to it. The one beef I have with jazz singers writing lyrics to jazz tunes is that they're too often about jazz or the musician who wrote it. For example, Hendricks' lyrics to Monk's Rhythm-A-Ning...are about Thelonious Monk...

Monk is perfect, every time I listen his works I feel so good.
