Gregory Lewis: Organ Monk Going Home

Continuing his organic interpretations of Thelonious Monk, Gregory Lewis teams up with Kevin McNeal/g and Nasheet Waits/dr for some spherical pleasures. This is not an album of imitation, but inspiration, with Lewis swirling and swaying to the intense “who Knows” ang getting quite quizzical on ”San Francisco Holiday”. Hints of Bela Lugosi come out of the crypt on an unsettling “Brilliant Corners’ and an eerie “Jaclyn’s Eyes” and Wits’ going funky for “Two Timer” and McNeal giving some clever moves as he veers in and out on ”Evidence”. Sharp corners of a sphere.
