DAVID PASTOR & BACK TO BRASS – ENGANXATS A MONK (Omix Records – 17038)

Back to Brass pays tribute to the great pianist Thelonius Monk in Enganxats a Monk, an album recorded by the brass quintet with David Pastor and Felip Santandreu in a format designed for brass quintet, solo trumpet and drums.
This record work pays tribute to an emblematic personality in the world of jazz. Thelonius Monk stood out as a composer and as a performer with well-known songs such as Round Midnight, Brilliant Corners, Evidence or In Walked Bud.
The arrangements have been written by Duccio Bertini, one of the most recognized European authors in the jazz world today, who has given the voice and harmonic base of Monk’s piano with the greatest possible liveliness and expressiveness.
