A tribute to the music of Thelonious Monk

The Jazz Nebula's Quintet performs the music of jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, one of the most prolific composers in the history of jazz.
About this Event

Thelonious Monk was an American jazz pianist and composer who is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington. His compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and a highly percussive style of playing. Jazz Nebula’s Quintet, featuring Jon Day (piano), John Reid (saxophone, flute, and clarinet), Johnny Summers (trumpet), John Gray (bass), and Ed Batley (drums), will perform selections of Thelonius Monk's music.

Doors open at 1 pm and the show begins at 2 pm.

ThIs is the final concert in a series of six concerts presented by Jazz Nebula at Scarboro United Church for its 2025-26 season (The Great American Songbook, Horace Silver, George Gershwin, The Great Saxophonists, Cole Porter, and Thelonious Monk). See the coloured brochure below for more details.
