  • never will you hear a musician that can make dissonance sound so consonant!

  • The only jazz musician you'll always identify after hearing him play just one bar.

  • 5:57 Tracy Mcgrady LOL.

  • The human race needs people like Monk.

  • @boobtuber06 What the fuck does that mean?

  • "It says IM FAMOUS ain't that a bitch..."

  • Greatest part of this video is at 6:13- during 'Round Midnight he decides he's gonna wipe his brow with a handkerchief from his pocket, then drops a few notes in while still holding the handkerchief in his playing hand… and still kills it. Just amazing...

  • The most interesting comment I read was that his music was unique to one thing - him- with a specific "sound" like the music from an ice cream truck.

  • im famous aint that a bitch!

  • he got that homemade sound, his friend bud powell, monk said, could only play his songs correctly..

  • Just wonderful! Thanks so much for posting this.

  • Monk the only dude that starts the first four bars of his chorus with a sprint back to the piano.
