mjzee Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar posted this photo on his Facebook page with the caption: "This photo of Thelonious Monk and me was taken March of 1966, I was 18. It was shot by the baroness Nica de Koenswater in the kitchen of the Village Vanguard which served as the green room for the musicians. My favorite song by Monk is "Evidence", what's yours? #FBF #TheloniousMonk #Jazz" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 So he was 18, maybe a senior in HS or freshman at UCLA. Didn't realize the jazz bug bit him that young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Great foto. Well I also like "Evidence" a lot and love to play it, but as Monk has said when he was asked which of his songs he likes most "I haven´t rated them". It´s great that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was such a big fan of jazz also. I remember in the book "Notes and Tones" Freddie Hubbard stated that "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had called him...." Really wonderful things that happened then..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
