Review
No
one has played Monk before like Andy Summers does. Summers
is the ex-Police guitarist who has received a lot of
inspiration in jazz and decides to do his first official
jazz album and indeed is an immense success. Thanks
for inviting my favorite cello player Hank Roberts to
play here. Also featuring Joey DeFrancesco on piano
and Sting's vocal on "Round Midnight." This album, having
the roots in Monk, departs in a very reasonably different
direction. Summers is grabbing onto something here,
might as well call it soul, or verve, or panache, or
jazz, or style, or whatnot. But Summers got it here,
right here. May God bless him and make him come out
with more good stuff. This is by far the best album
of 1999.
