Hey everyone! Here is day 3 of Black American Musician influences week! Here's a little tribute to the great Thelonious Monk - the Gabriel Bar-Cohen trio, with Ben Rubens on bass, playing "We See." Enjoy!

Dang Dave, I really enjoying this series! Monk has always had his unique sound and song writing style, and you pay it great tribute. Loved the styling here and a great trio!

Thanks guys! So glad you liked it.

We play that tune in my organ trio. It always reminds me of a messed up “My Old Kentucky Home”.

I can’t resist anything Monk! Very creative Dave, especially your pace and timing along with the wide intervalic range and sound. I thought you got some Rouse in there as well.

Oooohhh, I like that!
