25 tips for gigging musicians as told by Thelonious Monk: October 10, 1917– February 17, 1982 was an American jazz pianist and composer. Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington.

1. Just because you’re not a drummer, doesn’t mean that you don’t have to keep time.

2. Pat your foot and sing the melody in your head when you play.

3. Stop playing all that bu****it, those weird notes, play the melody!

4. Make the drummer sound good.

5. Discrimination is important.

6. You’ve got to dig it to dig it, you dig?

7. All r**t!

8. Always know

9. It must be always night, otherwise they wouldn’t need the lights.

10. Let’s lift the band stand!!

11. I want to avoid the hecklers.

12. Don’t play the piano part, I am playing that. Don’t listen to me, I am supposed to be accompanying you!

13. The inside of the tune (the bridge) is the part that makes the outside sound good.

14. Don’t play everything (or everytime); let some things go by. Some music just imagined.

15. What you don’t play can be more important than what you do play.

16. A note can be small as a pin or as big as the world, it depends on your imagination.

17. Stay in shape! Sometimes a musician waits for a gig & when it comes, he’s out of shape & can’t make it.

18. When you are swinging, swing some more!

19. (What should we wear tonight?) Sharp as possible!

20. Always leave them wanting more.

21. Don’t sound anybody for a gig, just be on the scene.

22. Those pieces were written so as to have something to play & to get cats interested enough to come to rehearsal!

23. You’ve got it! If you don’t want to play, tell a joke or dance, but in any case, you got it! (to a drummer who didn’t want to solo).

24. Whatever you think can’t be done, somebody will come along & do it. A genius is the one most like himself.

25. They tried to get me to hate white people, but someone would always come along & spoil it.

You don't need to know how to read music to play music.... But, it sure helps when transposing and creating your own arrangements.

Today in the studio, Beethoven.
