I’m 56 yrs old. Meaning I was born in 1965.I am with Monk every day.Only God knows this connection. No one else in my family has ever introduced to this music but my 2 children listen to Monk with me Daily. I’d just like the world to know that I’m a better man for ingesting this in my soul. Thank you Monk. Thank you.
The genius of this set is its so futuristic. Monk was so far ahead of time with his technique and style and Charlie Rouse saxophone playing one can sense the beginnings of John Coltrane!!!
Monk is building two houses next door, Rouse is stealing virginia creeper stems from the borders and propogating them. They grow easily and turn a lovely red in Autumn.
