i wouldn't call it a minimal claim to call monk less 'confident' than any other pianoplayer. it's a gigantic claim, and a gigantically absurd one. maybe you like enriquez better, and maybe his style has a more 'relaxed' feel to it, maybe enriquez is a hugely underrated player, but that's about as far as you can go.

How does the old saying go? Mozart and Beethoven's disagreement are closer that your agreement. In other words: shut your mouth! You really need to be a great musician if you're going to critique a great musician: like Monk

yo xpressivist how can you say you LOVE jazz and then say someone is better than someone especially monk technicality if that whats your saying might be justifyible but to say someone is more entertaining when they play so they are better is sayin ive heard jazz but i dont listen and by the way there is so much math involved with jazz that you might want to rethink the science thing a little

Regardless, mine sucks. Despite my ability to hit any pitch at any time.

The is no productive end result in comparing ANY art in terms of what or who is better or the best. There is always bias and in many cases there is no accounting for taste. Apples and oranges. Sure, you can rate ones technical ability against another. But then the other person may have better MUSICAL chops. One thing you CAN do is say if you PREFER one thing over another, but then one's preferences may change over the years. EX: I hated Miles Bitches Brew when released. I now LOVE it.

i'd go for oscar peterson. he's my guy on the piano. i'm pretty sure he's better than enriquez and monk. oscar peterson playing and lady day singing is an excellent combination.

right, so you were born in 1898. Got it.

You have to be a moron to say Bobby Enriquez plays better than Monk. Or that American Jazz artists are over rated. That's ridiculous. American's invented Jazz.
