John Beasley's MONK'estra

Join us in the Tri-C Metropolitan Campus Auditorium for John Beasley's MONK'estra, a smashing big band that captures the spirit of Thelonious Monk's singular music in fresh arrangements flavored with contemporary sounds that range from Afro-Cuban rhythms to hip hop.

Downbeat and Jazz Journal UK have given his albums five stars, with one critic saying, it is "some of the most mesmerizing big band music in recent memory."
