On the eve of what would have been Thelonious Monk’s 90th birthday, his son T. S. carries on his father’s legacy in the groundbreaking Monk On Monk ten-piece configuration.

Whether newly discovered compositions by his father. Or his new tribute to Monk and Coltrane, the music is overpowering, swinging, and timeless – just see the reviews!

T. S. Monk’s tribute to his father, Monk on Monk, garnered numerous awards, critical praise, and fan acclaim. Guest artists came from around the world to celebrate Monk paternis and pay homage to the man who many have claimed as the “High Priest of Bebop” and the “Father of Modern Jazz.” In this ten-piece ensemble, taken with the instrumentation Thelonious himself employed in his legendary Town Hall concert, T. S. Monk performs unknown compositions he discovered several years ago as he documented his father’s material. Like the family approach T. S. took in assembling the tribute, this new material finds its deepest and most
loving expression in the tight-knit ten-piece ensemble that has, in itself, become a musical family, the core of which is T. S.’s sextet.
