Miles Davis Sextet featuring Miles Davis on trumpet, Zoot Sims on tenor sax, Gerry Mulligan on baritone sax, Thelonious Monk on Piano, Percy Heath on bass and Connie Kay on drums performing Charlie Parker's "Now's The Time" live on 17th July 1955 at the Newport Jazz Festival. For the first time I have attempted to match the photos with the soloist. I only wish that Thelonious Monk had soloed more on this track

  • @composerzane: Many often did find it hard. It took a while playing with Monk to figure out how to fit in with his style.

  • @aarfeld no wonder... i would personally find it hard to solo over the backing monk's laying down in the early goings of this piece

  • Once again there was tension between Miles and Monk when Miles asked Monk to lay out during his solo on this the third and last song of their set. Miles was never happy soloing with Monk behind him.

  • Thanks way cool rip ~ ☮ldhippieяick
