Music reviews of Dancing Monk
Music Review: superb monk interpretations
Rating: 5 Stars
This wonderful recording by Eric Reed and his trio accomplish a very difficult feat---making Monk's tunes sound like Monk, but also offering original takes on the music. What we have here is a trio at the top of their game--great music, fantastic swinging improvisations, and heartfelt ballads. My only complaint is that the CD could have accomodated a few more tunes. Super playing and the sound, by Katherine Miller, is top notch. One of the best Monk tributes I have heard.
Description of Dancing Monk
Not only did Ahmad Jamal call Eric Reed "one of my very favorite pianists," not only has he worked with such talents as Wynton Marsalis, Jessye Norman, Patti Labelle, Quincy Jones and others but he has composed film scores for Eddie Murphy and Tim Story and serves as musical director for The Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. Somehow he still finds time to teach, perform and cut his latest disc, "The Dancing Monk." Here the genius of Monk is refracted through the prism of Eric's own creativity resulting in 'thoughts on' rather than a 'tribute to' one of the true titans of jazz.Jazz CDs
