,,Jan Verwey does not go easy on himself. You can hear that in the way he treats the Monk repertoire; sometimes inclining towards the classical, then towards the latin, even Spanish influences are noticeable. This approach makes the Monk repertoire, which is not always easy listening, more accessible to a larger audience".
,,However, Jan Verwey never lets the vulnerability or originality of Thelonious Monk as a great composer out of sight".
