Thelonious Sphere Monk is regarded as one of the outstanding jazz composers and co-founders of bebop. He combines tradition and modernity in an amazing way and his compositions offer the musicians of 44monK around bandleader Stephan Völker great, challenging material for interpretation and improvisation. You will hear swinging titles such as "Blue Monk" and "I Mean You", but also ballads such as "Abide With Me" and "Ask Me Now". 108 years after Monk's birth, Stephan Völker (saxophones), Christian Spohn (double bass), Axel Pape (drums) and Michael Grün (piano) will play a concert in his honor.
