Friday The 13th: The Micros Play Monk
September
release on Cuneifrom Records
The new CD from the Microscopic Septet is something unique: an homage
to the Man who inspired the Micros from the beginning with both the
humor and originality of his music, and the integrity and
wisdom of his world view.
Original arrangements of twelve Monk tunes played in an amazing
simulation of the Microscopic Septet style, by the Microscopic
Septet.
