You might hear a guy that's off-kilter but what I hear is
someone that
has rejected everything that he had learned as a kid and was
determined
not to play as everyone else had or as others expected him to
play. I
love this clip.

When I first started listening to Monk I would hear the
hesitations. I now hear those hesitations as him creating.

But if an unknown student were to do something like this during a lesson, the instructor would probably say something like "Why do they send me students like this, with no left hand, no right hand, no sound, and no hope?" Curious that some players can sell idiosyncratic playing like this more than others, perhaps by sheer force of personality, who knows.
