"I'm going to do the plane" Monk said to Bud Powell after embracing him for a long time... We went into a small room where there was a grand piano. Monk slammed down a chord with his ten fingers and pushed down the two pedals. The heaped up dishes on the top of the piano bounced up before starting to vibrate with the buzz of the strings. Bud started with a never- ending laugh that pulled the tears out from his eyes..." (Francis Paudras).
