Sing Monk?.......2007-01-09
Who could possibly put lyrics to the genius of Thelonious Monk? Jon Hendricks (half the lyricss), Abbey Lincoln, Bernie Hanighen, Sally Swisher and Mike Ferro managed the impossible quite well. Even if you did, who could possibly sing Monk? Carmon McRae is the only possible answer, as hers is perhaps the finest and most versatile instrument in jazz. McRae's lilting humor and intelligent phrasing anticipates where Monk is going, which is amazing as Monk himself seldom knew. This album is a crystal tapestry of voice and instrumentation woven to catch the light - it is quite simply a beautiful thing. And all this at age 68 for McRae - an inspiration!
