I'm growing more and more obsessed with this guy. But there are so many records to choose from. I wonder if anyone can recommend some essentials. So far the records I have are mostly from the sixties - the ones he released n Columbia. I know that many consider these records less important than the ones he released on Riverside in the fifties. Anyway, I think they all are great records. The ones I have are: 1. Monk's Moods - This looks like a semi-official budget compilation - Compiles stuff he recorded from 1944-48 - Released on Naxos 2. Ken Burns jazz - Compilation of stuff from the forties to the late sixties. Columbia Records 3. Brilliant Corners - Absolutely fantastic album from his Riverside years in the fifties! 4. Criss-cross - Columbia 1963 - Superb and very up-beat album! 5. Straight, No Chaser - Columbia 1967 6. Underground - Columbia 1968 I can recommend all these albums, and I'm hungry for more but there are so many of them! What should I get next? |

What kind of music is it? Do you know about some killer soundclips on the net? |

morsto-x: It's jazz and it's wicked! Thelonius was - in my view - the aphex twin of jazz in the forties and fifties. He plays the piano soooo cool and his compositions are very distinctive and original both when it comes to rythm and melody. I don't know of any clips tho... but you'll probably find some on the recordshops on the net. Drunken Mastah: Thanks for that link, they did have some Monk records on special offer. The Smak wallet was gone the last time I checked. Did you pick it up anyway? |

nah. i didn't get it. just wondered if you could tell me if any of the artists were good enough to order. so you DID mean just Thelonious Monk? why the "sphere?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It IS his middle name! :) Or was. He died in 1982.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm.. wellwell. the artist was known as thelonious monk. don't confuse me now! haha! i've got all the.. not ALL the CD's, 'cause some of them are compilations, but all the "normal" records on that page, and probably some more. |
||||||||

|
|
The top ten of cdon or the thelonius monk records? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
thelonious monk records. ehm.. did the link not point to the thelonious monk records? damned frames! i tried to link directly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No it didn't but I did a search and found it... do you have any Ornette Coleman records as well? I have "The art of the improvisers" and that is awesome. I'm definitely getting more of his shit too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, I don't think I have ornette, but my father may have some (he has lots of cool jazz!) (et lite tips: sitter nå og hører på urørt sin jazz-nettradio, og det er UTROLIG mye kule greier der! (!)) |

Me to! I only have "On the corner" - one of the coolest, most far out an funky albums ever! |
||||||||

Ahmad Jamal is also good! saw him live at Ole Blues or Nattjazzen. Not much of a live-show, but the music was pretty good! (his bass-player had the BIGGEST FUCKING HAND EVER!) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i've been meaning to get some of the Monk stuff... what album do you guys recommend as a good starter? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Ahmad Jamal too! I was there at Ole Blues. Big-hand had a big grin as well! Something like your avatar. I think Jamal was pretty funny, walking around like he was demented or something :) |
||||||||

|

hehe.. and making small "ye" "øh" and "hy"-sounds! funny guy, he was! (did you notice all the people leaving before the concert was finished? there is ALWAYS an extra song! ALWAYS! uncultivated mongrels, they were, the people who left before the extra (haha! sorry. if you left before the extra, you are an uncultivated mongrel!)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I stayed for the encore. There were too many posh people at the concert... ladida! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. and after the concert, we went to a melodi grand-prix-party-ish-thingie (not a real party, i we were lots of people watching grand-prix at my brothers apartement). the musical quality of MGP compared to Ahmad made for hours of fun, mocking the artists!!! |

monk's dream is a good one. re: ornette: you could start with one of his early albums like tomorrow is the question! or the shape of jazz to come, if you're new to free jazz. |
