Nice one JC - I take it the food was of an edible standard?
Thanks for the review JC. Shame you couldn't stay for the second half - hopefully do a similar idea soon...
Here's the stuff about Monk in full - from 'Thelonius Monk - The Life and Time of an American Original' by Robin D.G. Kelley. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
WELL YOU NEEDN'T
‘A diminutive, gay black man with a rich baritone voice, Beamon struggled to make it as a singer. Monk befriended Beamon as they were both hanging out at the Smith’s house. Beamon hired Monk to play a gig with him at a gay club in Manhattan. Before Beamon was to take the stage, a stand-up comedian offended the audience with some snide, insensitive remarks, prompting an angry brawl. Monk’s niece Benneta Bines relates the story: “Thelonius grabbed him up and said ‘Let’s get outta here.’ And Charlie is saying, ‘But I haven’t sung yet!’” They got out intact, but it was one of those adventures Thelonius would never forget. When Monk offered to name a song after him, Charlie responded, “Well you need not.”
MILES - IN REHEARSAL
‘...Davis and Roach met at Thelonius’ apartment to go over the music...the session turned sour when Miles made disparaging remarks about Monk’s playing. Monk just glared at first, but Miles would not relent and soon the dispute escalated into a shouting match...Monk said, ‘This is my band, my music.’ Miles said, ‘But you’re not playing it right, Monk.’...Monk finally said, ‘I think you better leave. This is my mother’s house and I don’t want no violence in here’
ON THE GIG...
‘in an act of playful comeuppance, Monk left the piano, snuck up behind Miles during his solo, reached into his shirt pocket for a pack of cigarettes, and dug into his jacket pocket for matches. After he lit up, he put everything back into Davis’ pockets. “It was like a vaudeville act,” recalled Celia Mingus. “And Miles – Miles wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of missing a note”’
Thanks for the Monk reference, Paul, it's definitely on my list. The background details really add to the enjoyment of the gig. Hope you can do another one like it soon. JC
