All Monk music, a co-production with my CCM colleague, trumpeter and engineer Kim Pensyl featuring all duos and trios. Rusty Burge, vibes, Rick Van Matre, sax, and Doug Richeson, bass.
“…the straight trumpet/piano duets are the riskiest performances, simply because any flaws would be glaring. Pensyl and DeGreg prove themselves up to the task with unimpeachable deliveries…They succeed because they have an undeniable affection for Monk, and their performance is top-notch.” -Greg Simmons, All About Jazz
