Monday, May 8, 2006 at 3:49 PM Just mention to the Starbucks crowd that you prefer the Monk to Hancock because he's such a sellout. It should get you some hipster points. I don't know much about the extent of his talent because I'm not a musician, but apparently he was a jazz great. —Mahalo |

Although, most of the best present day musicians in the world aren't known by many, although there are also many people who don't know what the Holocaust was, so I guess that doesn't say much. Trust me on this one, I'm in the band. —A Guy in a Chair |

Edited Monday, May 8, 2006 at 5:53 PM Well, since this isn't for a class... He was a buddhist monk who was born in the state of Qin the third century, BC. Early in life, he was a criminal who was reformed after several years of imprisonment by the King of Qin. After the unification of China, he later became a member of the Emperor's court and a trusted advisor of Emperor Qin Shi Huang until his resignation. In addition to being a gifted court musician, he was an excellent military strategist and he had keen intuition in the art of diplomacy. An interesting aside - the English word 'felonious' was derived from a corruption of his name. how great of an artist was he?
Very great - one of the most famous from ancient China. Who were the other artist of his era.
Gao Jianli is probably his most well known contemporary. Jing Ke was also highly influential at the time. And do you really think that he revolutionized (sp?) the bebop genre?
Absolutely. He invented the bebop genre, and the modern piano. Without him, there literally wouldn't have been a bebop genre. —anobody |

For the kiddies out there that somehow know how to use the Internet, but actually believed that... actually, Ano is right. Thelonius Monk was a famous bebop composer from China. He heavily influenced the Chinese culture. If you're into his style, check out other's that followed him: Tao Ming, Chi Ho, and of course, the famous Zao Tseung, all wonderful muscians and composers. "Very great - one of the most famous from ancient China." Just under William Hung. —A Guy in a Chair |

Tuesday, May 9, 2006 at 4:05 PM well lets have a discussion about him, how great of an artist was he? Who were the other artist of his era. And do you really think that he revolutionized (sp?) the bebop genre? Monk played behind beboppers (Diz, Bird, others), but he wasn't an innovator in that way although the way he backed up soloists was very different (but not really imitated these days). As far as some virtuoso technical ability on the piano that is not how he distinguished himself. The way he voiced his chords and composed his songs is still a huge influence on any pianist/jazz soloist you hear today. As far as the jazz "standards" go, they are some of the most fun to play IMHO. His song Well You Needn't makes so much melodic sense to me I'd put it up there with Mozart. It doesn't just make sense to your ear--it makes sense to your fingers when you play it. In the hard bop era his group served as an incubator for some serious talent--John Coltrane being one of the most famous, but there are others...Jackie McClean and some drummer I just heard on Fresh Air. To bring this full circle to today, the RHCP often do the song F.U. complete with lyrics in concert. As for his contemporaries-- he lived/played in the bop era through 1981 or so (even though he was super nutty at the end) so any big name in jazz is one of his contemporaries. The film Straight No Chaser is a trip even if you don't like jazz.

I believe he made over 50 ablums, which is a lot of money. he's a legend because he is and was so talked about, his music was popular with the masses and musicians. There are a lot of musicians from previous decades who made more money than Coltrane but then slipped into obscurity. Think about the 80s. —ProfessorCarbuncle |

There are a lot of musicians from previous decades who made more money than Coltrane but then slipped into obscurity. Think about the 80s. A great book for learning about has jazz records were made goes by the title of something like "Kind of Blue: the Making of a Miles Davis Masterpiece." It's by Ashley Kahn. I think the sidemen (Coltrane, Cannonball, Evans, Kelly, Cobb, Chambers) made something like $250 each for a record that still sells 100's of thousands and Miles had to fight to get them that much. Monk did not get rich on his records and most jazz musicians of that era didn't. Festivals are probably the biggest cash cows, followed by club dates, followed by records unless your name was Louis Armstrong or Miles Davis and you had a fat deal with Columbia or whoever. —bguirk |

and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore." I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

But I thought Green Day kicked ass when I was in middle school (jr high), and I still feel the same way now that I'm 24.

I don't know where you get off comparing them to Green Day who have been playing to packed audiences for over 15 years. Again, y'all full of shit...and to drive the point home here are some DogBite homebrew lyrics: The Blaze and the Fire Rose to the occasion, then she turned her back on him
Turn the blaze down on your fire, close the door,
At the altar you conspire After the bottles uncorked and the guests retreat,
She whispered in his ear so sweet,
"Eternity only lasts as long as life."
Now the groom must face reality and come up with the full price Don't be so impressed with ties and locks that cover the eyes
It takes more than synthesized beats and emo lyrics
To describe a love that lies, a bride that cries
