I hope I'm not alone in this, but every time I listen to a Monk recording, I laugh out loud -- well "at" is not the correct word, nor is "with" right, maybe "because of" is the best phrase -- Monk's playing.  Because his playing is so audacious -- seemingly simple, yet so profoundly deep, so corny on the surface, yet so very hip in the details.  On this disc, I was laughing with joy quite a bit as he played "The Man I Love".

I didn't know the man, but from his music it would seem that Monk had quite a sense of humor.
