This is his story, these are his songs. The second most recorded Jazz musician of all time, Thelonious Monk’s eccentric charisma, unique improvisational style, and percussive approach set the standard for – not just Jazz musicians, but – musical icons ever since.

Join Gilbert Castellanos, Charles McPherson, Gerald Clayton, Lewis Nash, Russell Malone, and Rodney Whitaker for an evening celebrating one of Jazz’s most influential characters.
