The Monktet at Blue Bamboo Center For The Arts

About

Join us for an exciting evening of original arrangements on Thelonious Monk’s ubiquitous tunes.

The MONKTET began in the late 70’s as the brainchild of L.A. based musician, arranger, and educator, John Magruder. (1925-2003). Then named the Magruder Monktet, John supplied arrangements of both the music of Thelonious Monk, and his own original pieces, as a way for he and his friends to get together and play weekly.

The new Monktet consists of all Orlando heavyweights, directed by Larry Williams.
