  • This is music of another dimension, or at least another time era.

  • @Mean6String its not just this song that no two versions are different, but rather all versions of ANY jazz song are different, whether it be a different soloist, a different band, or just a different arrangement, jazz is always changing--that's what makes it just plain awesome

  • @rippist91: That atonal dissonance stuff from classical composers was CRAP....This is a whole 'nother thing right here with 'Monk...

  • This is music good for the cosmos and all in or out of them.

  • Heey maaan... whutch'a smoke'nnn??

  • @rippist91 I am sure but dissonance was nothing new. Monk was doing his thing 40 years after composers like Schoenberg were composing a-tonal or 12 tone music. But to the common jazz listener back then, you are probably right.

  • I like to think that jazz and blues - 2 predominantly black music genres - helped them gain rights.

  • he sure was different...

  • Way Way out, man! Cubist bebop- genius if ever there was!

  • that wasnt really an intro, the horns come in on the outro chorus..

  • He began the freejazz with this tune.

  • To me this dude right here was one of the baddessss musician who ever hit the planet. His stuff is unreal. NEVER duplicated..
