Jason MORAN Plays Thelonious MONK

“Thelonious Monk is the most important musician. Period!“ That’s pianist Jason Moran on “The first pianist who made me want to be a pianist.“ So Moran decided to present a personal reflection on Monk’s music, reconfiguring the 1959 large ensemble concert that Monk presented at Town Hall in New York City. Jason Moran, piano Ralph Alessi, trumpet Walter Smith, tenor sax. Logan Richardson, alto sax. Frank Lacy, trombone Bob Stewart, tuba Tarus Mateen, bass Nasheet Waits, drums
