Thelonius Monk
Was it thelonius monk who was complimented on solo and then replied “you should have heard what I was trying to play!” ?? Somehow I think most musicians can relate.
Almost all artists want to convey their wonderful compositions to pizza tower listeners. Everyone has different interests. It is quite enjoyable to be able to find and enjoy music.
It's a sentiment that many musicians, regardless of their level of expertise, can relate to. 1v1 lol
Yes, that quote is often attributed to Thelonious Monk, reflecting his deep introspection and the vast creative landscape inside his mind. It truly resonates with many musicians who often feel that what they express outwardly is just a fraction of the music and ideas swirling within them. As you rightly mentioned, many can relate to that sentiment – the perpetual pursuit of translating internal musical visions into reality. Monk's innovative approach and unique style have left an indelible mark on jazz, and his words continue to inspire and resonate with musicians everywhere.
It's a reminder that mastery and creativity often come from retro bowl persistence and dedication to improvement.
