Love me some Monk (especially the album this comes from) but a friend of mine once quipped that he played piano like Les Dawson which is never far from my mind whenever Thelonious hits the "wrong" note.

Yeah, I've had the Les Dawson comment as well. Inevitable.

Thelonious Thursday = inspired. And it's a double decker! Joy.

That Carmen McRae version is fine fine fine. She can do no wrong.

Love those handwritten notes too. He wrote them for Steve Lacy, didn't he?
