Fred Hersch - piano
Entertainment Weekly (1/23/98, p.63) - "Who would have thought that yet another tribute album to the late great jazz innovator Thelonious Monk could uncover new ground? Leave it to Hersch, one of the most prolific and thoughtful players around. Going solo, Hersch analyzes, reviews and refreshes Monk tunes..." - Rating: A-
Down Beat (5/98, p.59) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...the pianist has devised an innovative, multifarious tribute that approaches and deconstructs the monk canon from different perspectives....it depends on how you like your Monk." |
