Thelonious Monk

another is at a session he was recording, Miles either was sick or scared/nervous to play and ran out the studio so he made Dizzy run back and forth between playing instruments during the session...

Respect to all the jazz legends. Drop more cats for dudes to get
up on jazz heads

check out Donald Byrd (RIP), Bobby Hutcherson, Shorter of course, & Hank Crawford...you'll see how they influenced hip hop...

Alot of Jazz legends in this pic `Jazzcats crossing the Hudson`. Miles, Herbie, Coltrane, Sun Ra, Mingus, Ornette Coleman, etc. I bought this Madlib compilation off the strength of this cover. Too bad Thelonious Monk is not in it though...

Dope. I see some names in there I haven't come up on yet.
Thanks.

Good to see some Jazz love in here again.

They're definitely aren't enough Jazz biopics or stories being told. I've read so many autobiographies, but it'd be nice to see them played out in live action too.

One of the great jazz legends. The quote of his that's in my signature is my basic philosophy on life.

Dude was serious on the key, love listening to a lot of his stuff.

Bernard Purdie is also a good look, he was SICK w/ the hands on the drums.

Already loving this thread the same way as that Miles Davis one from ages ago. We need to combine these legendary jazz artist threads into one thread the same way as that 9th wonder/nicolay thread
