Thelonious Monk - Blue Sphere Blue Sphere, which says a lot in a short space, begins with only one chord per bar in the left hand but with a very strong 2/4 feel in the right, preparing one for the eventual stride pattern at a typical James P. Johnston tempo; this builds so well to the percussive finale, in which the rhythm is suspended once more, that Al McKibbon could not restrain his discreet applause.
