OK Mat - you've flattened me again. There's no answer to that.
Hi Gord, - I love that music but you know, despite me considering myself a big West Coast fan I only know the names and not the sounds
I'm off to Spotify to rectify things.
Only Monk could hit those minor or "off-minor" chords and somehow still stay consonant with whatever piece he was playing. A truly remarkable musician and artist.
Hi Mat - I did say great music and then put my silly (supposed to be humerous) bit in about the no alto. (The video picture did show Charlie Parker)
Sorry - I guess most people have to persevere to live with my sense of humour - in the case of my wife, that hasn't happened up to now after 48 years
of marriage)
Hi Gord,
On the whole I tend to enjoy Monk (and this one I liked), but sometimes he gets well beyond the limits of my perceptual ability
and it becomes too much like hard work.
