Description
For the first time ever Thelonious Monk Jr. offers us some of the most acclaimed Monk compositions recorded this time in Jazz Manouche Key. A complete different feeling and view when listening to some Monk classics like “Teo” “Blue Monk” “Let’s Cool One” or “Epistrophy” with a swingy guitar Manouche touch coming hand in hand with the most recognized Spanish Manouche guitar player Valenti Moya. The album contains two songs written by Valenti Moya. “Always Know” and “Honesty”; especially composed for the recording session with Monk. Thelonious fell in love with the two songs and the two musicians decided to include them in this recording. The external musicians who have collaborated in this album are the current jazz highlights within the Spanish jazz spheres: piano player Marco Mezquide and Gemma Abrie with her powerful voice. A must have for all those Monk lovers.
