LA Based: Thelonius Monkey

Thelonious Monkey is taking Los Angeles by storm. Focused around a set of strong original compositions by Chris Wabich and Jennifer Wabich, this Jazz Quintet quite literally rocks - fusing traditional jazz, middle eastern grooves that their drummer and leader is known for, and rock and roll.

The ensemble consists of drum set, percussion, steel drum, electric bass, keyboards, saxophones, vocals, violin and cello, which seems like too many elements for a quintet until you meet the musicians involved.
