MONK’estra Septet – CANCELLED Covid19

GRAMMY®- and Emmy-nominated recording artist John Beasley leads a smashing Septet called MONK’estra. The feel and sound of MONK’estra captures the spirit of Thelonious Monk’s singular style with its off-beat melodies, humor, strange beauty and unbounded swing in fresh arrangements flavored with hints of New Orleans, hip-hop, Afro-Cuban, contemporary and atmospheric rhythms and colors.
