I can't say that I've enjoyed John Beasley's earlier work, but this CD is the pits. By the time I got to "'Round Midnight," I was fed up with the dumbed down, bland arrangements. His treatment of that jazz standard sounded like something you'd expect to hear in a third rate 1970s lounge. The beauty of Monk's music is in its dissonance, playfulness and sudden twists. Unfortunately, many of these timeless songs are diluted in John Beasley's charts.
