My repertory ensemble will performing at Blues Alley on Monday, February 23, 2009. For this special performance, the ensemble is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the "Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall." The original concert took place in New York City on Saturday, February 28, 1959 and included at ten piece band playing arrangements by pianist Hall Overton.
We will perform transcriptions of Hall Overton's arrangements, new arrangements of Monk tunes by me, and new works by pianist Gene D'Andrea. Selections from the Miles Davis "Birth of the Cool" will be played as a nod to the 60th Anniversary of the historic nonet collaboration.
