The two previous albums from MONK’estra carried the titles Volumes 1 and 2, and they didn’t need much else by way of introduction. It was right there in the name of the ensemble – the spirited, thoroughly modern big band dedicated to John Beasley’s ingenious arrangements of songs by Thelonious Monk, a composer as iconoclastic and memorable as his first name.
In this installment, the ensemble makes room for Beasley’s compositions – a sure reminder that his writing skills go beyond the riffs and fills and counter-themes that elevate his arrangements. The band spends most of this album playing Beasley’s songs, but the title – MONK’estra Plays John Beasley – still seems redundant. Whether it’s Monk or Duke or Bird or Miles – or, I suspect, Gregorian chant or Chinese court music – his wildly inventive writing ensures that the orchestra would always be “playing John Beasley.”
