Monk What is a project of guitarist Brian Citro, reinterpreting the music of Thelonious Monk through Jamaican, African and American bass music rhythms. The group focuses on many of Monk’s lesser-known tunes, including early pieces like Humph and Hornin’ In. Steppers’, one-drop and rock-steady beats lay dope foundations for Monk’s music. Drummer Anthony Abbinanti and Bassist Chris Merrill, from Chicago dub stars The Drastics, take a tight and agile approach to these and other styles. Trombonist Andrew Zelm and Trumpeter Shane Jonas complete the group, with fresh looks at Monk’s melodic and harmonic structures.
