This Song Influenced Everything I Did On Piano

Thelonious Monk, "Round Midnight"
I heard a version of this when I was 11, or 1967. This live version is from 1969.
I don't know which version I heard back then. It was an album my dad had. (He was a cool jazz guy. Not a fan of bop.) He never listened to it. I did.
Outstanding!

Brubeck, Randolph, Farlow, Getz...
He was a big band fan as a kid. Got into cool jazz after the army. (Or during, I forget.)
Ever heard Rondo Alla Turca, live?
Brubeck & Desmond are awesome on that tune.
