Heres Thelonious Monk (my favourite jazz pianist) playing in Tokyo - TopicsExpress



          

Heres Thelonious Monk (my favourite jazz pianist) playing in Tokyo in 1963. Seeing this reminded me that I first heard his music when I fortuitously tuned in to a BBC TV show featuring him in the mid-60s. I must have been about 15 I guess, and I was immediately hooked, partly by the weird angularity of his playing, and partly because of the unique visual aspect. Ah, if only TV directors these days would make their sets a little more minimal..... jazzonthetube/videos/thelonious-monk/epistrophy.html
