This version of "Ugly Beauty", a Thelonious Monk composition, is from a 1988 JMT recording called "Monk In Motian", featuring Paul Motian (drums), Joe Lovano (tenor saxophone) and Bill Frisell (guitar). The album features ten Monk compositions, recreated as sound paintings.
To play with this type of openness and fluidity requires musical maturity and artistry of an extremely high calibre.
The musicians giving sway to the music and not their egos.
Splendid.
