How, I wonder, could I have gone so long through this Friday-night series without posting Monk? Time to correct that oversight.
A YouTube commenter (sydysydy) captured it perfectly: "Almost hitting the note. Playing around the expected note. Implying the note through discord. Creating a new version of the note with atonal harmonics. Textural splashes. The melody never repeats exactly the same way. Monk is the definition of avant-garde. Half pianist, half painter."

I also came across that quote on youtube...in fact, I took a screen shot of it, then looked to see who Sydysydy is so that I could credit him/her.
