OMG when Monk comes in at 14:23, the timing is absolutely perfect. It's a work of art in itself. Like an archer picking precisely the right moment to let the arrow fly. And I guess that's what the secret is throughout all his playing. But there is more that I just realised. The reason for all the "messy" notes is to get around the problem that, unlike other instruments such as the sax, a piano is expressively limited. You can't alter the tone of a note much compared with most other instruments. So Monk emulates this by deliberately playing discordant clusters in order to get a greater range of expression. And these two things, timing and expression, are the most important aspects of music, but they are so difficult to teach and validate, I fear it gets lost in music education. 14:23 is all you really need if you want to master music.

So true! There are a couple moments in here where the music genuinely makes me laugh out loud, cuz some of Monk’s choices and phrasings are so quirky and odd but so EXACTLY perfect. Like Chapelle or Pryor doing a joke setup that makes you kinda cringe and go “uh oh, where’s he going with this?…” and then sticks the landing perfectly with a perfect punchline, that you never would have thought of, but it’s phrased PERFECTLY given what led to it, and you can’t help but laugh at the joke itself and the genius and balls it took to take that risk and actually pull it off. It really has some of those same creative contours. And in both cases, there’s no need to over analyze it or pick it apart. Rather, just have the experience; let it was over us and be IN IT, and suspend disbelief for a moment and just listen and FEEL! That’s the whole point after all eh? 🙃

@@Daring2Win That's pretty cool. I know not a lot about that tradition. But from what I have heard of it, it uses a lot of the same chords in similar ways as found in classical music, which is what I studied as a child. When I listened to Thelonious Monk about a year ago, the music sounded random. I didn't hate it, I just couldn't understand the extended chords he used. Then, I spent a year listening almost exclusively to the music of Alexander Scriabin. Now, the extended chords that Monk uses sound all natural and non-dissonant to me. They make sense in the context of the songs. But it might be easier for you to make the connection, because from what I have heard, Monk came from a similar background as you. Classical is further removed. Good luck on your musical journey!
