This is a somewhat melancholy, yet pretty ballad from Thelonius Monk (piano), recorded in July of 1957. Also playing on the record are a young John Coltrane- alto; Wilbur Ware- bass; and Shadow Wilson- drums.
I watched the movie Thelonius Monk: Straight, No Chaser on Fri. The movie is a documentary using mostly archival footage of Monk in 1968. His mad genius can definitely be tasted by watching this truly unique individual at work. It was executive produced by Clint Eastwood, a piano player himself, in 1989. You can get it anywhere...Netflix.
