Miles Okazaki: Work: The Complete Compositions of Thelonious Monk
by Mark Corroto
The best way to embark upon Miles Okazaki's six-volume Work: The Complete Compositions of Thelonious Monk is the same manner you might approach Herman Melville's American masterpiece Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. Like Moby-Dick with its 135 chapters (and epilogue), Work is a Brobdingnagian accomplishment. Okazaki performs the complete Thelonious Monk songbook. 70 tunes in total.

Matt Wilson: Honey And Salt

Matt Wilson: Honey And Salt
by Mark Corroto
We will forgive you if you believed drummer Matt Wilson's previous recording Beginning Of A Memory (Palmetto, 2016) was a summing-up of his career to date. On that recording he invited just about every musician he has worked with as a leader. The conspicuous absence was, of course, Dewey Redman, who had passed on in 2006. ...
Joe Fiedler: Like, Strange

Change can occasionally be necessary for artistic growth.
