Timeless Advice to Musicians from Thelonius Monk

Posted by Ivan Pena on Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 3:18 PM

My buddy Wes Price from Polysound Studios sold me on the fact that this handwritten note was created by Jazz God Thelonius Monk in 1960 as an advice sheet for his new drummer. I think that most of the advice here is valid for anyone in the music business. This is a great companion piece to Quincy Jones' SXSW Keynote speech. Enjoy!

Good stuff...Here's another companion piece from Thelonious Sphere Monk that everyone suffering from "Cover Band Mentality" should read: "Don't play what the public want-Play what YOU want, even if it takes the public 20, 30 years to catch up."

I'm pretty sure this wasn't meant for his drummer — it begins "just because you're NOT a drummer — but it's still cool stuff. I'm going to speculate that is was either for his tenor player Charlie Rouse, who joined the group in '59, or it was for his entire band. Nice find!

That's what I thought Eric, but he swore he did that to the guy on purpose to mess with him. I dunno...

In the modern society, do you want to be “in” .Of occurse, me too. I look forward to becoming the focus people among the crowds in any time and any where. So I recular to search some information to come true my goals . Sometimes I buy fashion magazines from the book store, or I can go to the mac cosmetic outlet where there are selling mac cosmetics. I can enjoy myself during the shopping. I purchase the discount mac makeup
