One time, at The Jazz Workshop, Monk didn’t appear for the second set. After about a half hour, someone asked “The Baroness” to walk around North Beach to try to find him. She returned with Monk in tow. Turns out he forgot he had a second set. He was nearby enjoying an ice cream sundae.

My dad had a few albums, including Monk and Coltrane. I was never aware of him listening to thkse records. But I did. I am so glad that I got into him at at a young age. This was one of those wordless, completely unspoken gifts.

A real genius created a language of his own.

Golden era, yes, postwar, 40s-50s, mostly, before my time, but we have those great records, films, and testimonials of contemporaries. Thanks, poster!

Genius after hours I was fortunate to see him work out - and I became close friends with Charlie Rouse.

His message to the world was played in the language of his music. When I listen to him, he's telling his story that cannot be conveyed in words but nevertheless can be understood at a deeper level.

Only Monk can be "cool" wearing dark shades in a totally dark night club! I saw him once at The Blue Note club in the early 70's, and was mesmerized watching him dance (literally around the piano). He was truly a GENIUS! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Enorme Thelonious! Su Maestro Art Tatum(nunca lo fue pero Monk le debe mucho) debió de estar orgulloso de él.

Thelonious...you either git him or you just don't. I do, my mother just doesn't. Two caveats to that statement: she is NOT into instrumental music IN GENERAL (she no more cares for The Ventures or Herb Alpert, for example, than she would for Monk, Miles, Trane, Bird, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Vince Guaraldi, etc. -- she MUCH prefers good singers, good singing and good songs); and we tend to agree more than we don't on what good singers, good singing and good songs are. It's just that I appreciate music minus vocals/words on its own merit...and I, unlike some people who even like jazz, got Monk almost right away and have liked him ever since.

10:48 -- And now you know what Monk's mother had in common with (at least) Michael Jackson's, Van Morrison's, Roy Harper's, [rock critic] Lester Bangs' and Venus & Serena Williams's mothers. Some responded positively to that background/childhood; others did not.
