I was first getting into jazz, and I came from a harder rock kinda place. So I liked Ornette, later Trane, Mingus, etc.
Evryone told me though, hey, you gotta listen to Monk. I did. Then I didn't get it. It sounded just normal, just cafe to me.
Until I heard this album, and the later Straight, No Chaser.
Something clicked, And Yeah, now I get it.
Thanks for giving yourself to the music, Monk.
