Ken Peplowski is pretty unbelievable on clarinet. This clip is included to showcase how important it is to become a virtuoso on your instrument. You might have the greatest ideas in your head, but unless you can transfer them to your instrument (or we can live in your head. No thanks on that by the way, it's scary in there) you are nowhere. Hey, put down that Twinkie and work out some diminished scales...there are only 3 and they sound great on dominant 7 b9 chords!

Thelonious Monk!
During Bill Clinton's campaign, he was asked by a reporter from MTV who his favorite musician is. He replied "Thelonious Monk." The reporter followed up with an amazing question... "Who is the loneliest monk?" Check out Monk's technique on piano, you have never seen anything like it. This is a blues head called "Blue Monk." It's a good tune to know, and you might want to learn it by ear. After you check out this clip, follow up with the clip above featuring the not so hip Hans Groiner.
