Three photos of Thelonious Monk by Eugene Smith
Absolutely love this thread... big fan of all the guys you listed. Ornette Coleman blew my mind the first time I heard him.

Have you seen the documentary, The Jazz Loft by Eugene Smith? It's a fascinating look at how Monk and other jazz musicians practiced.

My dad, on leave from the army, saw him play in NY. I wil be forever jealous, but thankful for growing up with an appreciation for jazz.
