Bio
Punk, funk, heavy metal, trip-hop, techno - not words typically used when describing Thelonious Monk's music. However, these are words used to describe Brilliant Coroners. More of a "Thelonious Monk cover band" than a jazz outfit, this NYC based sextet takes Monk's music and updates them for the latter 20th Century and beyond... .."No two ways about it, their scalpels are sharp. Of course they're not alone in exhuming and examining Monk. His body of work has been carved up a million ways. These guys do it with a loving smirk." - Village Voice... .."This isn't your average Thelonious Monk cover band. The High Priest's chunks of knotty inspiration are infused with punk energy." - Time Out NY.. ....Buy our CD!.... -
