Jody Espina with Brilliant Coroners, featuring the music of Thelonius Monk.
"No two
ways about it, their scalpels are sharp. Of course they're not
alone in exhuming and examining Monk. His body of work has been
carved up a million ways. These guys do it with a loving smirk." "This
isn't your average Thelonious Monk cover band. The High Priest's
chunks of knotty inspiration are infused with punk energy."
"In the
same vein as John Zorn putting a hardcore spin on Ornette Coleman's
music for his Spy vs. Spy project, these delightfully twisted jazz
renegades have tweaked Monk's music to an edgy threshold that will
outrage jazz purists while engaging more adventurous ears."
"Brilliant Coroners dissects Thelonious Monk's oeuvre for the 21st century. Inspired by Naked City and the Hal Willner tribute album to Monk "That's the Way I Feel Now", they incorporate funk (Blue Monk), heavy metal (Brilliant Corners), techno (Epistrophy), hard-core punk (Sixteen, Bemsha Swing) and jazz (Evidence, Skippy) for a fresh take on these timeless masterpieces."
