Monk’s Casino, a group featuring Alexander Von Schlippenbach on piano, Rudi Mahall on bass clarinet, Axel Doerner on trumpet, Jan Roder on bass, and Uli Jennessen on drums, has recorded the complete works of Thelonious Monk, available on a 3-CD set. Their work can be a bit squeaky at times, for my taste, at least, but these guys know their Monk. Here they are in action at the Roundhouse Performance Center in Vancouver, 6-29-09.
