Jon Batiste - Monk Movements (Batiste Piano Series, Vol. 4) - LP

The fourth volume of the Batiste Piano Series, on vinyl LP

On the fourth volume of the Batiste Piano Series, multi-Grammy and Oscar winner Jon Batiste returns to some of the music that first shaped his voice at the piano, expanding upon the majestic, contemplative beauty at the heart of some of Thelonious Monk's most iconic works. Batiste recasts Monk standards such as "In Walked Bud," "Blue Monk" and "Ugly Beauty" with a contemporary classical sweep, then stretches out on the nearly fourteen-minute closer "Monk Movement." A pianist paying his respects to a hero, and finding new rooms inside familiar songs.
