Memories of T by Ben Riley's Monk Legacy Septet - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Adapting Thelonious Monk's idiosyncratic works for a septet without piano is no mean feat, but Ben Riley, the legendary pianist's drummer for five years, does a remarkable job on this collection of classic Monk tunes, which includes a cascading version of "Bemsha Swing" and a sprightly jaunt through the thickets of "Gallop's Gallop." The group's arrangements add a surprising heft to numbers like "Rhythm-A-Ning" and "Epistrophy," while preserving the innate delicacy of pieces like "Pannonica."
