>TFW everyone's saying Herbie Hancock and I like that.
Jason James
Bud was better than Monk who was ham fisted as anything *bang, crash, wallip*
Bud had tenderness, a nervousness that set him apart,
Jonathan Wood
>Tristano
Sun Ra writing for a player piano would be better than him.
Nicholas Green
There are people better as individuals but I don't think there are many groups who've made music as wonderful as Evan's trio, which really shines for the group dynamic.
Of course, if you're looking at it from that perspective, people like McCoy Tyner with Coltrane's quartet suddenly go way up the list.
Monk is clearly the correct answer though.
Wyatt Turner

dirty great big carrot fingers, no finesse
Logan Flores
That's why he's so wonderful though! If you want finess, you're better off going for classical music, Monk is selling a unique personality and style in the tradition of people like Armstrong or Miles. People mentioned itt like Bill and Bud deffinitely have that too but there's a beautiful awkwardness to Monk's voice appeals really strongly to myself and a lot of other people.
