T Monk Ugly Beauty

Starting this piece at the same time as last night.  Watching T Monk documentary on Netflix, saw this in the New Community in Huntington when it first came out.  Charlie Rouse.  Round Midnight.  Barry Harris, saw him recently at the Village Vanguard.  Dual pianos.  Clint Eastwood produced and directed this.  It’s a clear example of how an opposite can create something so appealing to the bebop and jazz cool cats.

Thank you for reading this.
