For his third Origin release, master guitarist Bobby Broom pays tribute to one of the most important voices in jazz with a set of Thelonious Monk compositions and several standards Monk recorded during his time on Riverside Records. He is joined by his long standing trio-mates, bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer Kobie Watkins, as he again puts his own very personal spin on the classic repertoire. "Bobby Broom Plays for Monk" will certainly stand as another milestone in Broom's rich catalog of critically acclaimed recordings. "(Bobby Broom's) trio can be compared with Sonny Rollins' and the classic John Coltrane Quartet." - JazzTimes
Chicago-based guitarist Bobby Broom pays tribute to jazz icon Thelonious Monk on Plays For Monk, a fresh take on eight of the late pianist's compositions, along with a couple of standards associated with Monk's repertoire. Joining Broom for his third release on Seattle's Origin Records are his long time trio mates, bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer Kobie Watkins.
Broom does a tremendous job navigating Monk's music in a bare-bones guitar trio setting. His horn-like approach to soloing, relying heavily on single-note runs, gives the trio a stripped-down sound, recalling the piano-less trio recordings of saxophonist Sonny Rollins, whom Broom has been performing with for years. The open space allows for a rich dialogue, especially between Broom and Watkins. Watkins' intense swing on the up-tempo "Evidence" pushes the guitarist to inspired creativity. Broom incorporates lush chord-melody arrangements on Monk's classic ballads "Ask Me Now" and "Ruby, My Dear" and the jam session staple "Rhythm-a-ning."
Harry Warren's "Lulu's Back in Town" and Monk's "Bemsha Swing" swing with the kind of soulful vibe Broom is known for with his popular Chicago group the Deep Blue Organ Trio. "Bemsha Swing" features a rollicking bass solo by Carroll and a spirited back-and-forth between Broom and Watkins.
The disc closes with a solo guitar rendition of Jerome Kern's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," a standard that Monk recorded as a solo piece. Broom's rendition is poignant and honest—much like the rest of the disc. Plays for Monk is a stunning addition to Broom's recorded output and speaks to the potential of the guitar trio in modern-day jazz.

Para su tercer lanzamiento de Origin, el maestro guitarrista Bobby Broom rinde homenaje a una de las voces más importantes del jazz con un conjunto de composiciones de Thelonious Monk y varios estándares que Monk grabó durante su época en Riverside Records. Se le unen sus antiguos compañeros de trío, el bajista Dennis Carroll y el baterista Kobie Watkins, mientras vuelve a dar su personalísimo giro al repertorio clásico. "Bobby Broom Plays for Monk" será sin duda otro hito en el rico catálogo de grabaciones de Broom, aclamado por la crítica. "El trío de Bobby Broom puede compararse con el de Sonny Rollins y el clásico John Coltrane Quartet." - JazzTimes
El guitarrista de Chicago Bobby Broom rinde homenaje al icono del jazz Thelonious Monk en Plays For Monk, una nueva versión de ocho de las últimas composiciones del pianista, junto con un par de estándares asociados al repertorio de Monk. Junto a Broom para su tercer lanzamiento en Seattle's Origin Records están sus antiguos compañeros de trío, el bajista Dennis Carroll y el baterista Kobie Watkins.
Broom hace un trabajo tremendo navegando la música de Monk en un escenario de trío de guitarras. Su enfoque de trompeta para los solistas, que se basa en la ejecución de una sola nota, le da al trío un sonido despojado, recordando las grabaciones de trío sin piano del saxofonista Sonny Rollins, con quien Broom ha estado actuando durante años. El espacio abierto permite un rico diálogo, especialmente entre Broom y Watkins. El intenso swing de Watkins en el up-tempo "Evidence" empuja al guitarrista a una creatividad inspirada. Broom incorpora exuberantes arreglos de melodías de acordes en las baladas clásicas de Monk "Ask Me Now" y "Ruby, My Dear" y la improvisación "Rhythm-a-ning".
"Lulu's Back in Town" de Harry Warren y "Bemsha Swing" de Monk con el tipo de vibración conmovedora por la que Broom es conocido con su popular grupo de Chicago, el Deep Blue Organ Trio. "Bemsha Swing" tiene un solo de bajo de Carroll y un animado vaivén entre Broom y Watkins.
El disco se cierra con una interpretación en guitarra solista de "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" de Jerome Kern, un estándar que Monk grabó como pieza solista. La interpretación de Broom es conmovedora y honesta, como el resto del disco. Plays for Monk es una impresionante adición a la producción de Broom y habla del potencial del trío de guitarras en el jazz de hoy en día.
