On a few unforgettable occasions, Chick Corea has joined the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis – a group he calls "the greatest big band on the planet" – to perform transformative new iterations of his music. Now, for the first time, they're joining forces to explore the work of another master pianist and composer: Thelonious Monk, the high priest of modern music.

Thompson; vibraphonist Joel Ross; tenor saxophonist Todd Williams; bassist Reginald Veal; and Cuban percussion genius Pedrito Martinez; and vocalist Melanie Charles.
