Duck Baker Plays Monk finds the renowned guitarist Duck Baker interpreting nine classic Thelonious Monk compositions through masterful solo acoustic guitar performances. Drawing from a deep well of jazz, folk, and blues influences, Baker brings both profound simplicity and bristling complexity to Monk’s timeless works, all imbued with his distinct sense of humor and reverence.
This tribute album showcases Baker’s unique ability to honor Monk’s original intent while illuminating the composer’s blues, gospel, ragtime, and swing roots. Recorded across sessions in North Carolina and Italy, Duck Baker Plays Monk offers listeners inspired, soulful, and beautifully nuanced takes that shed new light on Monk’s enduring genius.
