Monk & Me Brian Trainor Trio & friends 253 $16.99 includes FREE domestic shipping. Priority and Foreign have extra shipping fees. w/Kelly Rodrigues, Richie Cole, Steve Marcus, John Swana, Tyrone Brown, Gary Mazzaropi, Jeff Jerolamon, Jimmy Miller

Brian Trainor's writing and playing display an uncanny similarity in style to Thelonious Monk on this aggressively charged collection of songs - original compositions with some classic Monk tunes.

On Monk and Me, Trainor joins forces with Richie Cole and Steve Marcus to created an incredible energy-packed recording. Trainor studied Monk as a composer and passionately loved him as a pianist.

This recording is the result of playing Monk's music in performance and realizing the affinity he had with the music and the audience reaction to that synergy.
