Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely as a profound tribute to the legendary Thelonious Monk, the virtuoso pianist navigates Monk's famously angular, idiosyncratic compositions with masterful elegance. Flanagan's trio brings a distinctively fluid, deeply swinging sophistication to the challenging, angular bop material.
