Thelonuis Monk at his best!

Watch as he tickles the ivories and moves through the changes. Monk’s unique approach to the use of chords and rhythms comes alive in this sample of his work. Not surprisingly, his creative embellishments and outside the box thinking toward the function of the jazz piano is what drove listeners to his music and also what keeps them enthralled to this day.
