He uses a lot of signature tricks in different tunes. This makes 'em sound similar.
I usually know it's Monk, sometimes I know the name. There's a bunch of 'em I know how to play the heads.
Yes, he did a lot of this. He would have a particular note fall on the first beat then the next time that note would be on the second beat, the next measure it would be on the third beat. I picked that out in a lot of his compositions. Right now I can remember which ones to use as an example.
