Celebrating the 100th birth year of Thelonious Sphere Monk (1917–2017), the Ed Neumeister trio with Morten Ramsbøl and Howard Curtis, both fellow professors with Neumeister at the KUG University in Graz, will be performing their versions of classic and lesser known compositions by Monk. Included are some of his hits like „Round Midnight“ and „In Walked Bud“ and masterpieces such as „Crepuscule With Nellie“ and „Trinkle Tinkle“.

As an added special occasion, we get to celebrate the great impresario Christoph Huber’s birthday. Happy birthday, Christoph!!! (Ed Neumeister)

Nach seiner Ellington-Hommage anlässlich des 100.

Well you needn’t! CH
