Soweto Kinch presents music celebrating Thelonious Monk's centenary, with a concert from the quartet Thelonious. In celebration of the legendary pianist's music, Martin Speake (alto saxophone), Hans Koller (euphonium, piano), Calum Gourlay (bass) and James Maddren (drums) formed Thelonious in 2015 to re-explore his work. For this concert from Birmingham's CBSO Centre, they are joined by American guitarist Steve Cardenas who has recorded all of Monk's works. Also featured on the programme is bandleader John Beasley who takes a different approach to Monk's music in a newly released album.
