Of course, there's more than one way to hit it, Hak

Nice! Was that Charlie Rouse on tenor? Much more agreeable than the catarrhal St. John Coltrane.

Lay off the 'Trane, you cheeky bass.

Steve, that Arrau clip is excellent thanks. But Claudio Arrau plays 'proper' like and sits still on his stool. Monk's fist-sized polytonal clusters and the way he stabs at the keyboard would be guaranteed to purse the lips of piano teachers and snobs everywhere.

My lips are pursed (and I don't teach the piano).

Is this more your style? I'll probably put it up soon if you don't beat me to it.
