To answer my earlier question, the Youtube notes say that is Charlie Rouse on tenor. Sorry, no table dancing by Monk. Watch Monk's hands during his solo. At one point he is playing cross-handed.

This is the man when it comes to this style of music. He is a legend in jazz circles and rightfully so. To think of all the records he made and all the equally famous people he is credited playing with in his long life it is even more amazing that his music has seemed to dim over the years. If you want a good taste of really good music find some of his albums, grab a glass of wine, kick back with your lady and prepare for a very relaxing night.
And yes that is Charlie on tenor, another great legend in his own right. Great find Bill... thanks!

Every piano teacher's nightmare
Get a load of the funky foot tapping in the beginning. I love how he stands up while the other guys are soloing and just stares at them. Miles would go back stage for a cig, but no, Monk just STARES at you. Would totally break my concentration and freak me out.
Best part is, all the guys except Monk looks like a :nerd, but they're cool. I was a :nerd and I was really really uncool. Different standards for musicians and computer guys I guess :idunno
