“Working with Monk brought me close to a musical architect of the highest order.” – John Coltrane, Downbeat A dream quartet featuring Joe Lovano, Kevin Hays, Doug Weiss, and Al Foster explores the brilliant music of Thelonious Sphere Monk, one of the great geniuses and innovators of modern music. Joe Lovano is “one of the great connectors in the history of New York jazz over the last few generations,” reports the New York Times, and “long considered one of the great saxophonists of his generation,” according to PBS News. This reunion with legendary drummer Al Foster, who JazzTimes calls “a not-so-secret special groove ingredient enlivening performances and sessions by a long list of heavy hitters,” is not to be missed. Joining Lovano and Foster are an inspired duo of frequent collaborators and beloved artists in pianist Kevin Hays and bassist Doug Weiss #newyorkjazz #jazz #newyork
