Try Trio: Sphere
by AAJ Italy Staff
Alternando temi di Monk (di cui Sphere, com'è noto, era il secondo nome), a volte blanditi, presi da lontano, altrove enunciati in maniera più diretta, con brani originali (cinque, tutti a tripla firma, il che lascia intendere che ci troviamo di fronte a improvvisazioni di getto, o - come si suol dire - composizioni istantanee), il ...
Jimmy Owens: The Monk Project
by Hrayr Attarian
Who better to pay homage to one of the musical geniuses of the 20th century than seven of today's most idiosyncratic artists?

Sean McGowan: Sphere

Sean McGowan: Sphere
by David Rickert
Those who seek to create a tribute album of Thelonious Monk music face one big obstacle: how do you capture Monk's idiosyncratic style without sounding like a pale imitation? You could just record cover versions of his songs and leave it at that, but the end result wouldn't really capture the pianist's oddball genius, so what ...
The Microscopic Septet: Friday the Thirteenth: The Micros Play Monk
by C. Michael Bailey
If two creative star trajectories were ever meant to cross, it was those of pianist/composer Thelonious Monk and the Microscopic Septet. Sure, Steve Lacy and Mal Waldron had a pretty good Monk gig going, and Sphere was a great tribute band lead by Monk's longtime tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse (followed by Gary Bartz). But, the Micros...here ...
Jimmy Owens' "The Monk Project" Street Date January 3, 2012
NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Owens' debut as a leader on IPO features the legendary trumpeter/flugelhornist leading a stellar septet on a program of his own uniquely original arrangements of Thelonious Monk compositions that are deeply steeped in the feeling of the blues. Owens, who has been heard on countless big band and small group recordings as ...
Great Sidemen - Great Leaders
by Greg Simmons
Being a sideman can be a thankless job. Sure, you might get to play regularly, but you rarely get to call the tune. If your boss is a big star, the gig might even pay pretty well, but if the band is going to Fargo, North Dakota in January, brother, so are you, and you weren't ...
