We jazz people are allowed to laugh once in a while! I believe you’ll get a good one out of this: The late drummer Charli (sic) Persip said that his mentor Kenny Clarke brought him to observe the now-famous recording session of Miles Davis and Monk, December 24, 1954. Persip remembered that at one point Monk accidentally knocked over a glass beer bottle sitting on the floor by his left foot. He said that Monk continued to play a little with his right hand while he used his left hand to place the bottle upright.
Love it. Great strory.
Isn't there also a Miles recording where you can hear a chair scraping the floor?
