Even today his music is more difficult than, say, anything from the <strong>Bill Evans<\/strong> catalog. But longtime Monk acolyte <strong>Terry Adams<\/strong> \u2013 who also happens to be the founder\/leader of <strong>NRBQ<\/strong> \u2013 has crafted a tribute of sorts that&#8217;s at once more accessible and every bit as idiosyncratic as Monk himself. Credited as an Adams album but actually featuring the Q&#8217;s current lineup, <i>Talk Thelonious<\/i> is a heartfelt tribute that feels fun, warm and intimate. The pipe organ of \u201cReflections\u201d is so jarring and unexpected, one can&#8217;t help but think that Monk would have approved. There&#8217;s a rocking, New Orleans vibe to the songs that deservedly dusts them off for the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century. It rocks, it swings, it&#8230;talks Thelonious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: NRBQ, Professor Longhair, Joe Jackson Though he&#8217;s rightly revered now, for much of his career jazz pianist Thelonious Monk was considered the maker of some dissonant, even [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9773,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,49,51,65],"tags":[1609,2131,2193],"class_list":["post-9769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jazz","category-new-release","category-pop","category-review","tag-nrbq","tag-terry-adams","tag-thelonious-monk","cat-42-id","cat-49-id","cat-51-id","cat-65-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9769"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9777,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9769\/revisions\/9777"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
