ABOUT THIS CD

A game. A stunning musical game. The music of brilliant composer and pianist Thelonious Monk, presented in an unusual, bizarre, daring and unsettling manner, with a chromatic harmonica leading the dance. A selection of  Thelonious Monk’s compositions entrusted to the melodic and seductive style of Max De Aloe’s harmonica, he’s considered one of the most important jazz harmonica players in Europe.

MELODIC MONK is a wonderful journey throughout Thelonious Monk’s music.
