  • @ArtD42 - The interviewer asks Monk when he wrote Round Midnight and Monk answers "early 40s" then he asks him to play and Monk plays Crepsucle.

  • Mannnnn this is so frustrating. I was waiting for Thelonious to talk cause I've never heard him talk and all we ever hear him say is "In th early forties" and "Crepuscule with Nellie". And then the guy talking in French for HOURS. Damnit!!!! I wanted to hear Monk talk a bit about himself and/or his music. That was frustrating as hell. But still, nice performance, though.

  • @postatility picasso.

  • @postatility NO!

  • Has any artist ever combined such child-like playfulness with such moving depth and profundity?

  • L'ECUME DU JOUR

  • A Beautiful performance of a hauntingly beautiful tune...And a nice smile from Thelonious(1:25)

  • It's not like he's a very well spoken guy. That's what makes him kinda bizarre. some people might think he's not very intelligent but fuck them! He's a genius.

  • Don't forget, he also says "See, I don't know what to play."

    LOL, before he breaks into the most beautiful rendition of "Crepuscule" I've ever heard!!!!

  • If you want to hear Monk talk, watch the documentary "Straight No Chaser". He talks all the way through the picture. You really get an idea of what a strange and powerful character he was.

  • Damn true!!!! It was frustrating for me too!
