[Dixielandjazz] Monk and Pee Wee; other one-of-a-kinds?

[Ric Giorgi]

YES! Inimitable indeed was
the one and only Steve Brown, string bass for Jean Goldkette and Whiteman
and the wonderful small band records as well. And Wellman  Braud, one of
Ellington`s bass players said he was the greatest of all bass players.

Monk did a concert playing several numbers with Pee Wee Russell. Does anyone
know if it's on YouTube? I couldn't find it, maybe for lack of searching
skills. That struck me as a fitting duo, since both are one-of-a-kind
players, very eccentric and unique within their traditions. Any help would
be appreciated. 

This leads me to thinking....are there others in jazz who have been so
distinctive that they're immediately recognizable, and not "imitable" by
others without sounding like outright musical plagiarists? Error Garner,
surely. Boyce Brown, maybe? Joe Rushton comes close. The under-rated Bill
Rank? This is a very subjective game, but I'm interested in others' ideas.
