Music and improvisation - that comes naturally to our ears but what if we say life and improvisation? Huh? Well Jason Spezza Stars Jersey , life is improvisation is it not?

How do we deal best with that period of time between birth and death that we call life? Life is a strange dance partner - it offers one fun, friends, food, love, knowledge, discovery but lets you know throughout that death is part of this deal called life. Does improvisation sound more inviting now?


These are the questions that occurred to me as I sat to write my first column that we called Misterioso - a fitting tribute in Monk's centenary year. But Misterioso is also about the mystery of life and I am sure Monk could have called the piece Mystery but something in the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, take your pick Alexander Radulov Stars Jersey , Misterioso better framed the mood of the tune - the word is onomatopoeic.


Naturally, I listened to album - Monk Quartet at Five Spot Cafe and the cover bears the painting called The Seer by Giorgio de Chirico. The Quartet were Ahmed Abdul - Malik on bass, Monk on piano, Johnny Griffin on tenor sax and Roy Haynes on drums, mostly recorded at the Five Spot Blues Cafe in New York, one of Monk's first gigs after having his cabaret card and right to work restored.


I looked at the 8 tunes on the album I accessed and saw that the tracks told the story of the 2016 campaign - Nutty, Blues Five Spot, Lets Cool One, In Walked Bud Ben Bishop Stars Jersey , Just a Gigolo, Misterioso, Round Midnight, Evidence.


Nutty - As I listened I thought of the parade of sixteen, where the melody Monk makes on piano is catchy, nearly retro swing feel to that melody, clear and easy to get. But the Griffin solo was the stand out and after following Monk's melody for a while, he then set himself apart, his solo stood out for its lengthy domineering nature Stephen Johns Stars Jersey , one felt at times that he crowed, but he had some sweet parts where his quick sax notes mesmerized. By the end of the tune, I had forgot all about the criticism made of Griffin at the time - that he was out of place, didn't belong, - but he took over the whole number!
