Our Take

Thelonious Monk's latest offering, "Reflections," is a jazzy journey through the mind of a musical genius. With his signature off-kilter rhythms and unorthodox chord progressions, Monk takes listeners on a wild and unpredictable ride.

From the opening notes of "Blue Monk," it's clear that Monk is in top form, effortlessly weaving together intricate melodies and complex harmonies. The trio's chemistry is undeniable, with Monk's piano dancing around the pulsating rhythm section like a graceful ballerina.

Tracks like "Reflections" and "Crepuscule with Nellie" showcase Monk's ability to combine tradition with innovation, blending classic jazz stylings with his own unique twist. The result is a sound that is both familiar and fresh, leaving listeners captivated and eager for more.

But it's not all serious business with Monk – tracks like "Bemsha Swing" and "Little Rootie Tootie" inject a healthy dose of fun and playfulness into the album, reminding us that jazz is meant to be enjoyed, not just analyzed.

Overall, "Reflections" is a fantastic addition to Thelonious Monk's discography, showcasing his incredible talent and musical vision. Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or just looking for something new to listen to, this album is sure to delight and inspire. Thelonious Monk Trio has once again proven why they are legends in the world of music.
