Giancarlo Schiaffini & Sergio Armaroli and Kopasetic artists

by Maurice Hogue
Deconstructing one of the original deconstructers of jazz, Thelonious Monk, is no easy task, but the Italian duo of trombonist Giancarlo Schiaffini and percussionist Sergio Armaroli do exactly that on their new album Deconstructing Monk In Africa.
