Thelonius Monk - Evidence (HQ)

It's crazy how much trouble Monk's music gave the top musicians of the day.

I have seen Straight No Chaser many times and I still have to take a minute out of my day to listen (& watch) Monk & friends sharing Evidence with us. Not only is it still a fresh sound, but it still doesn't make sense to most people.

ezra pound was a fascist and anti semite. Fortunately, one need only consider a poet by his works rather than his principles, and ol ezra was damn good. As soon as you write the cantos, you and everyone else on this thread can afford to be this pompous and musically elitist. Until then, everyone, please, just enjoy the music goddamit!
(and yet i sound pompous even as i write this)

Patricio, there is awful music today as there was awful music 2 or 3 decades ago. More crap is mainstream these days, it's true, but talent does not simply disappear. If you want good music by great musicians today, you have to look for it. And trust me, there is beautiful stuff being made all over the world. From Canada to Australia.

just chilln

because everything after *your* generation sucks, right?

there's good music today. you have to find it.

Of course there is always beauty in every generation/era of music; you just need to be open-minded.

I think it's useless Patricovaldicieso - simpleminded (is that's correct?) won't understand this and they call You and Your's music stupid.
Every single man have to came to it in his own, sweet way:), Indeed, mostly they give up at the beginning. You can feel sorry for Them ( I feel), but They just don't get it - that's all.

thaks 8Art (Like tatum!) hehe,

By the way i don't go through youtube answering stupid comments, but, when you found such an amazing video like this and people who can't listen start talking Bull_ _ _ _ it's a must to make things clear.

any way thanks for posting that video again!!!

And remember..... Straight no chaser.

Come on man, coldplay aint making crappy music...
