Play Monk

Description

After six albums dedicated to a futuristic reinterpretation of the work of Ahmed Abdul-Malik, the collective [Ahmed] now tackles the repertoire of Thelonious Monk, the bassist's former companion from the 1950s. Recorded in London during the same sessions as Sama'a (Audition), Play Monk deconstructs the American pianist's standards, transforming them into a fluid, free, and resolutely contemporary material. Between experimental jazz, European improvisation, Caribbean heritage, and echoes of Cecil Taylor or Duke Ellington, the group turns each composition into a timeless, intense, and hypnotic journey.
