Monk's Music: The Scott Foster Ensemble at Jazz In the Bookshop Friday Jazz Series at Bird & Beckett Books and Records

About

Saxophonist David Boyce, pianist Ben Slater, bassist Adam Gay and drummer Dave Mihaly join leader/guitarist Scott Foster for a foray across the musical terrain of Thelonious Monk.

The cornerstone of the Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project’s offerings at Bird & Beckett is this weekly series of jazz dates. The neighborhood really turns out to revel in the music and the company, and it’s done so ever since tenor player Chuck Peterson got the series going nearly nine years ago. Well over 450 Fridays have elapsed, with never a missed beat. Come hear what it’s all about. Jazz in a bebop / straight-ahead mode by some consummate long-time professionals and many of the best of the Young Turks on the local scene… Your donations at the shows make up the lion’s share of what we use to pay the performers each week, augmented as necessary from our general fund raised through the direct annual contributions to the nonprofit by “people like you.”
