Our Take

At first glance, one might assume that a collaboration between Thelonious Monk and the US Army Blues Jazz Ensemble would be a bizarre pairing, but in reality, it's a match made in musical heaven. Their latest album, creatively titled "MSG CRAIG FRAD," is a delightful fusion of Monk's innovative jazz stylings and the precision of a military jazz band.

From the opening track, "Blue Notes on Parade," it's clear that this album is not your typical jazz record. The US Army Blues Jazz Ensemble brings a sense of discipline and order to Monk's often chaotic compositions, creating a unique and captivating sound that is both playful and polished.

Tracks like "Sergeant Swing" and "Marching Monk" showcase the band's impeccable musicianship, with tight rhythms and infectious grooves that will have you tapping your feet in no time. Monk's piano playing, as always, is a joy to listen to, with his signature dissonant chords and unpredictable phrasing keeping listeners on their toes throughout.

Overall, "MSG CRAIG FRAD" is a testament to the power of collaboration and the magic that can happen when seemingly disparate worlds come together. It's a bold and daring album that pushes the boundaries of what jazz can be, and it's a must-listen for fans of both Monk and military jazz alike. So grab your beret and your camouflage, and get ready to be transported to a musical world unlike any other.
