Take Two: 'Solo Monk'
Take Two is an immersive deep-listening night consisting of two elements: an uninterrupted, high-quality playback of a seminal jazz album, followed by a modern-day reinterpretation by New York City’s finest musicians.
Our tenth edition will feature "Solo Monk," the 1965 classic album by the American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk.
This event will be livestreamed so that you can watch it from the comfort of your own home. By hosting a virtual event, we are able to feature many of our favorite musicians at the same time.
You will hear a dozen different interpretations of songs from the album — all by musicians who have performed at our events before:
> Anant Pradhan // tenor sax
> Dave Scalia // drums
> Endea Owens // bass
> Erik Deutsch // piano
> Irwin Hall // tenor sax
> Kirk Schoenherr // guitar
> Lucy Yeghiazaryan // vocals
> Pasquale Grasso // guitar
> Spencer Zahn // bass, electronics
Thelonious Monk was awarded a posthumous 2006 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation.
