The master of syncopation and harmonic dissonance. The champion of bebop and the slide style. Truly one of the greatest to ever tickle the ivories. My all time favorite.

The exemplary avant-garde jazzman—Mr. Thelonious Monk. He dances around the keys you would expect to be struck first, adds a complementary edginess to the mellow midnight of the foreground, and plays with a genius sense of timed dissonance and syncopation, the likes of which few if any jazz pianists were trying out like him during the bebop era. It’s like once you reach a certain point of mastery of your instrument or craft, the natural next frontier must be to break the rules of tradition and arrive at your own musical authenticity. Monk broke the rules so beautifully and solidified his sound as a result. This video was from 1966. It is now 2019 and Monk is still ahead of the times.
