Featuring Stefano Di Battista. Unfortunately, that’s all the information I’ve got. Posted by ilproiettore
“Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” played twice
Back in the day, Jerome Kern provided the score for what was once the most famous musical on Broadway, Showboat. He did plenty of other excellent shows, including Roberta, made into a film now (mostly) famous for being the third, and one of the best, of the eight films that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers…
Charlie Byrd Trio—“Blue Monk” New Orleans 1993
To my untrained if not indeed untrainable ears, Charlie simply plays a standard blues using the chords to Monk’s composition rather than basing his solo on the composition itself, which is what many people do when playing Monk-which, of course, is not what Monk wanted. However, I used to see Charlie way back in the…
“Blue Monk”
The man himself, in Scandinavia in 1966, with Charlie Rouse on sax, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums. Posted (with misleading information) by Solo musica. I recently published a long (or longish) take on Monk here. For tons o’ Monk (and who could ask for anything more?), try Mostly Monk.
Sachal Vasandani & Ben Wendel—“Reflections”

Ray Brown Trio—“Blue Monk”

Andy Martin and John Allred—“Blue Monk”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyvrbIRnt0A No video, just pictures, but I’m making an exception because I like trombones. 2003 Newport. Nothing on the other musicians, unfortunately. Posted by jazzytrib Need more Monk? Yes, you do. Go to Mostly Monk and continue your education.
