2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), screenshot
“Voyager, in case it’s ever encountered by extraterrestrials, is carrying photos of life on Earth, greetings in 55 languages and a collection of music, from Gregorian chants to Chuck Berry, including “Dark Was the Night (Cold Was the Ground)” by ’20s bluesman Blind Willie Johnson whose stepmother blinded him at 7 by throwing lye in his eyes after his father beat her for being with another man. He died, penniless, of pneumonia after sleeping bundled in wet newspapers in the ruins of his house that burned down. But his music just left the solar system.”

Not so long ago, in my favorite coffee place, I heard that some were revisiting Monk. Not that they shouldn’t, but it felt somehow strange. And I realized then how much I loved Thelonious Monk.
I only listen to Monk alone.
