*Disclaimer* Yes people, the band does in fact speed up. some say it is the bass players fault, others blame the band as a whole, but who cares one way or the other? Thelonious Monk's band is allowed the right to speed up because the band is so killin'! I mean your watching a video of THELONIOUS MONK for Christ's sake! so chill out with the accusatory comments! more monk........ you'll notice philly joe jones up there....... my other vids dont have him.....he made a special appearance in this one.

I agree. Blind Lemon Jefferson too, Big Joe Willliams -- 1/2 the pleasure is hearing them play around with time by speeding up and slowing down. What's important is: do all the pieces fit together... This is great -- thanks for the post.

Before drum machines, everybody played organically: speeding up, slowing down. Music has been lacking the whole palette of dynamics ever since we started being influenced by machines: tempo, volume, timbre... who said they were supposed to be done exclusively in ONE way, period?! This is beautiful.

Speeding up - perfect. Just the way I like it. (Lends excitement to the piece).

A lot of the greatest drummers have sped up. I think it's great.

I like how Philly's tie is just completely separated from his shirt collar.
