A chromatic harmonica album of Thelonius Monk covers might sound like it coasts on novelty appeal, but Jan Verwey brings true heart and soul to these classic jazz compositions. On this outing, Jan is backed by a small, swinging combo that keeps things restrained just enough for the harmonica to really shine. These pieces are also bolstered by some fantastic string arrangements that smooth the angular edges of Monk’s melodies without sacrificing any of the sophistication.
