Organized by drummer Chuck Bernstein in 1999, "Monk's Music Trio" is a compact powerhouse that while celebrating the enduring legacy of Monk is also a testament to the spirits, and vision of three very talented musicians. Viva la Monk! Viva la "Monk's Music Trio.
Since August, 1999, local jazz cats Si Perkoff (piano), Chuck Bernstein (drums) and Sam Bevan (bass) have been holding court two to three Monday nights each month at the Simple Pleasures Cafι in San Francisco's Richmond District, spotlighting the rich musical legacy of jazz great Thelonious Monk. "Monk on Mondays" explores the trio's repertoire in a "live" studio recording, with 13 tracks developed and refined over eight years of live performances that touch on the breadth of Monk's compositional prowess.
