| "I’ve been in love with the music of Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell forever", drummer Paul Motian confided, as he explained his decision to devote his latest Winter&Winter project to the works of these two brilliant pianists and composers. Friends as well as creative contemporaries, Monk and Powell were both troubled geniuses with histories of psychological instability and each was more comfortable interfacing with the piano than interacting with people. "I knew Powell and actually performed with Monk", Motian said, remembering the night in New York during the mid-1950s when drummer Art Taylor didn’t show up at the Open Door in New York and he was asked at the last minute to sit-in with Monk. "At the end of the evening I was the happiest guy in the world", Motian recalled, "because Monk, along with Bird, Bud, Dizzy and Max Roach, was one of the bebop pioneers who inspired me when I began to seriously listen to jazz as a teenager." |
