Happy birthday to the late Thelonious Monk, who refused to testify against his friend legendary jazz pianist Bud Powell in 1951, and subsequently lost his license to play in New York City jazz clubs for years. May we all have a friend like Monk in our lives.

This is the bullshit to avoid. That’s why I started making and posting useful jazz playlists on here. Don’t listen to this fake AI music. Support real artists on Spotify, and if you really like an artist, go see them live. Love them, buy a shirt or an LP or CD.

Erroll Garner teasing bass player Eddie Calhoun with his improvised introduction to “Honeysuckle Rose” on Jazz 625. Garner frequently improvised intros that contrasted sharply with the rest of the tune, leaving listeners and band members in suspense about the tune and its start.
