Glorious dissonance. That's how I would describe parts of this song. Notice the chord at 1:45. It sounds so right to Monk he plays it 3 more times. At 2:04 note leads to 2:08 gloriously unsettling dissonant chord. At end of Monk's solo 2:34-2:39 Monk doesn't play what everyone expects the logical conclusion to be. Instead, a stutter-step surprise. 2:40 on-Monk splashes notes like rain, plus perfect last splash at 2:59. 2:59-3:02-Monk lays out, A perfect point for no sound from Monk. PERFECTION!!

The multi-talented genius Harry Smith was actually the recording engineer on this Monk recording date in 1948. If you want to see an animated film Harry made using this as the soundtrack, punch up Harry Smith No.11 mirror animation uploaded by AFArchive. It's a masterpiece of animation, one of the glories of American cinema.

@livingengine You got it right.This original version of Misterioso is a national treasure. It certainly is one of the greatest pieces of music OF ANY KIND in the 20th century. Everything about it is perfect. Jackson was certainly one of the best interpreters of Monk's music as you can hear. And Monk's solo is absolutely out of this world. So inventive and so compelling. And Monk's comping behind Jackson is incredible. Must have heard this 100 times and it is always fresh. ONE FOR THE AGES!!!

Milt Jackson was one of the leading jazz musicians in the 50's, 60's and beyond. Most notably, he was the vibraphonist of the Modern Jazz 'Quartet, an iconic "modern jazz" group of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
