From the Jazz at Lincoln Center Radio Archives:
The Music of Thelonious Monk
Broadcast date:April 1, 2010
Thelonious Monk developed his angular melodies with small bands on smaller stages in the jazz clubs of New York City. Now, pianist Marcus Roberts joins the 16 piece Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to re-imagine Monk at the considerably more expansive Rose Theater. Band members offer fresh arrangements of Monk's 'Epistrophy', 'Criss Cross' and 'Blue Monk.'
