Who is this piano player?
Probably really obvious to some of you jazz guys here, so thought I'd ask:
 Who is this piano player playing in the trio at :1 hour 9 minutes 32 seconds? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICa2fncvdrQ&t=69m32s

Thelonious Monk.
He IS eccentric.

Thanks. I knew it would be a player I'd heard of (but never seen in the flesh).
I don't really listen to much jazz but that really caught my ear when I was watching that blues documentary.

Hmmm. I'd probably put Art Tatum on "the greatest" pedestal at least at the same level as Monk.
Tatum was a master of his instrument, especially in areas of dexterity and instant improvisation. A pop song in his hands became symphonic. Monk, however, was an intellectual at the keyboard...I swear, there are times in listening to his work that I can HEAR HIM THINKING. He searches for a phrase, almost loses it, captures it in an "aha!" moment, and plays it just in time to save the beat. Astounding. I call it "Cogito, ergo jazz." Both artists made mad, wonderful music. Dirk
