4bymonkby4I’m a sucker for Thelonious Monk. The angular and quirky music of this founder of modern jazz and bebop has always made my ears perk up and I count a number of his LPs and CDs in my collection. The 4 By Monk By 4 is a project presenting four renowned jazz pianists celebrating Monk’s featuring the refined styles of Kenny Barron, Benny Green, Cyrus Chestnut and George Cables who will interpret classic Monk compositions at two venues—The Lyric Theatre and Kilbourn Hall. It’s a can’t miss if you’re a Monk nut like me.
