Jazz guitarist Miles Okazaki has launched his Monkathon site about playing the entire oeuvre of Thelonious Monk in concert, and it is amazing.

A full four-set concert! Starting with one of my personal favorites, “Thelonious”!

And the notebooks! The generosity on here is incredible—I have paid good money for far less thinking on paper about Monk’s music than this. (Maybe he’ll get around to writing an actual book one day!)

It’s cool to see that even someone of Okazaki’s accomplishment has to remind himself to look at the audience. We’re all human.
