Matt King’s “Monk in Brazil”

“Monk’s music is timeless. The great pianist Matt King has shown how fresh Thelonious’s music still is with his creative Brazilian arrangements of these classics.  Matt has definitely turned a Brilliant Corner with this project.” – Dave Stryker

“A brilliant triumph, melding the wittiness of Thelonious Monk’s melodies and the infectiousness of Brazilian rhythms.  If you love Monk and Brazilian music, get ready to party!” – Rufus Reid
