But choosing Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington (1955)kinda bugged me, as some consider this record bleak and uninteresting. I've listened to it many times and I feel that it has a different quality from the other Monk's works from that period: some rhythmic patterns that seems to have surely influenced Andrew Hill and sometimes a frenetic phrasing reminiscent of Bud Powell. I'd like to see the man's toughts on Lennie Tristano, too. (I apologize if he have alredy talked about it somewhere... Just couldn't find it) Peace!
