I remember hearing my dad's Town Hall concert album when I was like 15. That shit blew me away. Still does! :o
Monk was not only an artist, but a true musical innovator. RIP, T.

Haha, but most of the performers I really, really like are all dead! I guess it's a good thing, though, 'cause if I had the chance to see/meet some of these guys before they died and I didn't, I'd be upset. Are you still a Jazz fan? What was the 5 Spot like?

bobby enriquez was far more advanced and creative on the jazz piano than any american or european jazz pianists. americans and european jazz artists are extremely OVERRATED. it can only be explained by americacentrism and eurocentrism in music pervading the world after the second world war up to now.

Interesting perspective. Perhaps you could post some links to his music.
How can you say ... ( 4 months ago by jamianm)
How can you say that the guys who actually created Jazz are lacking in their jazz ability? It makes no sense. Chuck Berry helped form Rock&Roll; so on principle it's not an argument to say that, oh I don't know, that Hendrix is better than Chuck Berry. Berry can't be touched; he created the thing.

i have been ... ( 4 months ago by xpressivist)
i have been listening to jazz since i was a kid. i love jazz and some other american cultural influences then and now. my country, the philippines, has a century of illicit love affair with american culture since we were bought from spain by america for 20 million dollars at the treaty of paris in 1898. hence, filipinos can appreciate jazz more than other asians, and probably more than any other europeans.
enriquez didn't ... ( 4 months ago by xpressivist)
enriquez didn't write many musical works. its in the way they play on the piano. i think its very obvious that enriquez is more confident and relaxed on the piano than monk. therefore, enriquez plays better than monk. its a claim about the ability to entertain and impress an audience. jazz is a form of entertainment. its not a science. i cannot be right or wrong about that claim. its a minimal claim. that is only what i claim. nothing more or less.

It's not a contest about who's better. Each man has a unique musical voice.

You have to be a moron to say Bobby Enriquez plays better than Monk. Or that American Jazz artists are over rated. That's ridiculous. American's invented Jazz.

i'd go for oscar peterson. he's my guy on the piano. i'm pretty sure he's better than enriquez and monk. oscar peterson playing and lady day singing is an excellent combination.

The is no productive end result in comparing ANY art in terms of what or who is better or the best. There is always bias and in many cases there is no accounting for taste. Apples and oranges. Sure, you can rate ones technical ability against another. But then the other person may have better MUSICAL chops. One thing you CAN do is say if you PREFER one thing over another, but then one's preferences may change over the years. EX: I hated Miles Bitches Brew when released. I now LOVE it.

yo xpressivist how can you say you LOVE jazz and then say someone is better than someone especially monk technicality if that whats your saying might be justifyible but to say someone is more entertaining when they play so they are better is sayin ive heard jazz but i dont listen and by the way there is so much math involved with jazz that you might want to rethink the science thing a little

How does the old saying go?
Mozart and Beethoven's disagreement are closer that your agreement.
In other words: shut your mouth! You really need to be a great musician if you're going to critique a great musician: like Monk

Sorry for the typo.
Thanks for the great videos, JazzvideoGuy!

i wouldn't call it a minimal claim to call monk less 'confident' than any other pianoplayer. it's a gigantic claim, and a gigantically absurd one. maybe you like enriquez better, and maybe his style has a more 'relaxed' feel to it, maybe enriquez is a hugely underrated player, but that's about as far as you can go.
