Midnight Blue – Thelonious Monk

I found this song on another deep YouTube dive, this time videos of old jazz legends and their songs. I had heard of Thelonious Monk but never dove deep into his music. I listen to a lot of jazz, and as a jazz guitar player, always appreciate when I hear a guitar-centered song. The tone and the solos of the guitar made me fall in love with the song instantly. The song sounds like a mix of old school blues and old school smooth jazz, a mashup which I greatly appreciate.
