I'm going to call bullshit on that one. You weren't at the "Brilliant Corners" session. I think this is something you're going to have to prove, because I sure as hell don't believe you.

"Brilliant Corners" was recorded 26 times I heard. This shows the kind of discipline and virtuosity one must have had to play Monk's music. All the pictures from the liner notes of "Brilliant Corners" show great frustration I think from this session. It wasn't that the musicians couldn't play it, it was more a matter of actually understanding it. That will forever be Monk's legacy. He made even the greatest jazz musicians break out in cold sweats.

Check out his user page on YouTube and follow the links. You won't get any real answers but it's entertaining.

Top Stuff! This is when You Tube becomes revolutionary. My compliments for this great work. Monk is my idol and Brilliant Corners my favourite record.
