About "Blue Monk" by Karin Krog
Thelonious Monk's 'Blue Monk' gets a Karin Krog treatment that walks a tightrope between bluesy swagger and avant-garde poise. The title's 'blue' is not sadness but a hue of defiance, and the rhythm section's angular strut creates a tension between swing and stumble. Vocal jazz with a mischievous grin.
