Yeah, I can see that. You never know what you are going to get with great jazz pianists. I remember going to this jazz show where they had free wine (boxed, of course) and cake and there was this old black guy trying to get wine and his hand shook so much that he was spilling his cup all over. He was sort of embarrassed, and said "Oh man, I'm just makin' a big ol' mess." I felt bad for him, but then they announced the band, and he gets up there on piano! And he KILLED!
This was just a small group from Chicago too. Not saying that they are any less talented, because you never know where the next genius will pop up. But I can only imagine someone like Monk was probably full of these types of surprises.
