Friday the 13th: The Micros Play Monk album Product Description


Friday the 13th: The Micros Play Monk album by Microscopic Septet was released Oct 05, 2010 on the Cuneiform label. Very few jazz composers have experienced the extremes of acceptance and rejection that were Thelonious Monk's lot. Friday the 13th: The Micros Play Monk songs Ignored and rejected early in his career -- in part for the oblique weirdness of his piano style, in part for the difficulty and angularity of his compositions, and in part because he was quite clearly mentally ill -- he did at least live to see his music given the appreciation it deserved, and his work has only grown in esteem since his death in 1982. Friday the 13th: The Micros Play Monk album Today, his pieces are among the most frequently performed and recorded of any jazz composer; as popularity among musicians goes, his music is on the same level as that of Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. The Microscopic Septet (whom you may have heard playing the theme music to NPR's Fresh Air) have now dedicated an entire album to arrangements of Monk compositions, most of them familiar ones ("Misterioso," "Off Minor," "Epistrophy," etc.). Their arrangements are innovative but respectful: they take "Brilliant Corners" and shuffle its component parts around a little bit; they write some lovely counterpoint around the head on "Friday the 13th"; they give "Gallop's Gallop" a joyfully loose, communitarian treatment that sounds a bit like the second half of a New Orleans funeral. Friday the 13th: The Micros Play Monk CD music contains a single disc with 12 songs.   ...See Full Description
