This video kicks ass, for the record. Jazz is a very love it or hate it genre of music but this dude is killing it on the piano

This title is ironic too because Thelonious Monk was a godfather of bebop jazz. Unpredictability and spontaneity was key

To be fair starting someone on Thelonious Monk to get em into jazz is kinda like starting a 21 year old on smoky scotch.
His playing is deliberate but intentionally dissonant and harsher.

On the other hand, I'd almost guarantee that Watanabe and Kanno are big Monk fans. Better than even odds there's an interview somewhere explicitly confirming this.
