Pianist and composer Kenny Barron performs for and curates this celebration of jazz legend Thelonious Monk’s 102nd birthday with a stellar cast of guest musicians. Barron is an 11-time GRAMMY nominee and 2010 NEA Jazz Master recipient who is uniquely qualified to honor Monk, having made the eccentric genius’ music a constant part of his repertoire and performing for over a decade with the Monk alumni project Sphere.
