Album Notes & Community Reviews

Interpreting standard material with profound structural imagination, 'Get Happy' showcases a pianist deeply influenced by Monk but forging his own muscular identity. The percussive attack and unexpected rhythmic displacements inject immense vitality into otherwise familiar repertoire.
