Inspired by the spirit of revolutionary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, John Beasley has taken Monk’s original music and offbeat style and run with it, creating an energetic, experimental big band sound that is quite his own.
John Beasley is an acclaimed jazz pianist, who’s played with Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard.
