JOHN BEASLEY - 2x GRAMMY winning, 12x nominated, Emmy nominee, & 2x Latin Grammy nominee PIANIST / COMPOSER / ARRANGER / MUSIC DIRECTOR / PRODUCER “John Beasley, the one-time keyboardist for Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, whose playing reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.” –Los Angeles Times John Beasley's MONK'estra Big Band "Beasley hits us dead center, features rapid-fire surprises, spiky asides and a quirky sense of truthful swing. Beasley’s band will leave you rapt. –Downbeat 5* ‘'John Beasley’s bold re-fashionings of Thelonious Monk once again hit the jackpot. Beasley's not just breathing new life into Monk's repertoire - he's firing up the big band scene.” –BBC Music Magazine “Beasley is a very clever arranger. An ingenious interpreter of Monk [Beasley] conducts like Thad Jones.” –JazzTimes
