Thelonious Monk - Ugly Beauty download song

One great song. should be used in a movie soundtrack. Like another Mo Better Blues or something along those lines.

wow, did someone notice there's a swastika on the flag behind monk?¿?¿ Or it is not?¿? That's really weird

This piece is pretty closely related to the earlier "Monk's Mood."

The more I listen to Thelonious Monk's musjc,the more it seems that he created his own musical world.

he is amazing, and the picture too!

The album is called "Underground" as in the WW2 french underground, there's also a tied up german officer next to said flag

my ears have never heard of this mans music before tonight...and wow, what a treat. i feel like I've known it my whole life

One of the prettiest songs Monk has put out! Should be played more on these so called radio jazz stations! Thelonious Monk is one of the greatest jazz men of all time!!!!

ben riley nice brush work! he’s alternating between 3/4 and 4/4 time a lot right? any musicians out there?? what is going on in this tune. beautiful rhythm changes. oh yeah and great album cover, hahah the tied up German SS Officer.

Sorry, finger slipped. Intended to thumbs up & comment initially! This is my most favorite Monk piece!! Thank you for posting

This song was playing January 1st, 2002, as I was being born.

WOW! Thelonious Monk, Charlie Rouse, Lary Giles and Ben Riely Experience the Brilliance.

One of the few times Monk played in waltz time,the other was on a Blue Note date a tune called Carolina Mooon.In my opinion their is nothing Ugly about it a very pretty and seldom played composition.Love the way the great Charlie Rouse plays in the upper register on his horn.Nice solo by Eric Gales on bass.Out chorus Monk and and Charlie sound in perfect unison

monk is so grrovvy sounds afro caribbean as hi was from his family

Great art needs no praise, it just needs people to be touched by it.

12 am, this song permeates through the core of my New York apt. My neighbors normally warn of music being too strong or resilient to their walls. Yet, when I play this, I play him...I get nothing but the utter beauty of silence and unwavering approval.
