Nostalgia In Grand-Place : Thelonious Monk et Duke Ellignton • Tribute
Bart Defoort (ts) ; Joachim Caffonnette (p) ; Jasen Weaver (b) ; Armando Luongo (dr)
Despite their very different styles, Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk shared an almost sacred bond. Monk deeply admired his elder, to the point of recording an entire album of his compositions in 1955, Monk Plays Ellington.
It is around these two major and visionary composers in jazz history that Bart Defoort has built the repertoire for this project.
