Dave O’Higgins’ Monkin’ Around Quartet

Following his highly successful gig showcasing his ‘Play Monk & Trane’ album, here are three friends, with guest Sean Fyfe on piano for this gig, paying homage to Monk, one of the most original jazz composers of the 20th century.

As demonstrated on their new album ‘4 in1’, they explore the quirky and memorable themes in Monk’s timeless, distinctive compositions.

Many are well known, some rarely played, but all are swinging, grooving, lyrical and playful.

Dave O’Higgins: tenor saxophone, Sean Fyfe: piano, Luke Fowler: bass, Billy Pod: drums.

“A stunning player in the neo-bop vein, with an apparently effortless flow of coherent ideas, beautiful time and a highly developed harmonic sense.” - Jazz Guide

“O’Higgins plays with quite exceptional fluency and his fund of ideas never runs out" - The Observer
