“Beasley’s band will leave you rapt. He brings Monk to life once again for modern-minded listeners. –Downbeat
The music of MONK’estra is all Thelonious Monk. John Beasley re-imagines Monk’s compositions with an eye to the future with a contemporary sound that pays loving tribute to the master’s music while infusing it with unstoppable grooves, modern harmonies with hints of New Orleans, hip-hop, Afro-Cuban, atmospheric rhythms and colors that has a contagious sense of fun.
