Since his death in 1982, he has become recognized as one of the greatest composers of jazz - and of the wider world of music. The year 2017 was the centennial of Monk's birth, and brought scores of tributes, including a well-received stay of pianist Frank Kimbrough's quartet at the Jazz Standard club in New York City. Like many jazz pianists, Kimbrough found Monk's music a revelation when he first heard it. From the outset of his career, Kimbrough has returned time and again to Monk's compositions. After nearly four decades of study, reflection, and performance, Kimbrough has established a relationship with these pieces and found a way to express himself through the prism of Monk. When the Standard approached Kimbrough to put together a quartet to play Monk's music, he picked the brilliant rhythm section of bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Billy Drummond. His choice for lead horn voice was the multi-instrumentalist Scott Robinson, with whom he has played for many years and in many combinations, most notably with the Maria Schneider Orchestra. After the first set of the October 17th, 2017 performance at the Standard Kimbrough's friend Mait Jones urged that the group record Monk's entire oeuvre, a feat that Kimbrough had never considered. A jazz fan and co-presenter of his own Princeton series JazzNights Jones began a lifelong appreciation of Monk when he heard the master live at the Five Spot in New York City in 1957. Over the next few days, Jones doubled down on his intent to make the project reach fruition, bringing in his friend and fellow jazz head, Dr. Dorothy Lieberman, to help co-produce the effort. The musicians began the intensive work such a project demands. Finally, in April of 2018 Kimbrough led a trio and then the quartet at Jazz at the Kitano, polishing 30 new tunes on the way to the full Monk catalog of 70 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThelonious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayed Twice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBa-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk Me Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright Mississippi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBemsha Swing 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeo 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Sphere 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrepuscule with Nellie 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink of One 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52nd St. Theme 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEronel 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluehawk 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Rootie Tootie 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Timer 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuby, My Dear 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoo Boo's Birthday 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSan Francisco Holiday 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Mean You 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShuffle Boil 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonk's Dream 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvidence 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMisterioso 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour in One 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake's Sake 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePannonica 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBye-Ya 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorth on the Sunset 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntrospection 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe See 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Walked Bud 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutty 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrinkle Tinkle 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues Five Spot 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound Midnight 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJackie-Ing 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell You Needn't 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGallop's Gallop 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren's Song 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Monk 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriday the 13th 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCriss Cross 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaise Four 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Call This 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Knows 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Merrier Christmas 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStuffy Turkey 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonk's Point 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrilliant Corners 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff Minor 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHackensack 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOska T 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Cool One 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHornin' in 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComing on the Hudson 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight No Chaser 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonk's Mood 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen Chimneys 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhythm-A-Ning 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUgly Beauty 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkippy 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething in Blue 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpistrophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 016728403221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunnyside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.23.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52199000768743,"sku":"26412","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/it-it\/products\/frank-kimbrough-monks-dreams-the-complete-compositions-of-thelonious-sphere-monk-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
