The latest album from the powerhouse avant-garde jazz quartet, featuring Pat Thomas, Joel Grip, Antonin Gerbal, and Seymour Wright. Following their acclaimed explorations of Ahmed Abdul-Malik's music, 'Play Monk' sees the group turning their intense, improvisational focus to the compositions of Thelonious Monk. The album is a hypnotic and relentless deconstruction of classic jazz themes into powerful, repetitive free-form workouts.
