              If one were to have access to a time
              machine and could go back to see
              legendary bandleader Thelonious Monk in
              concert during the 1950s and æ60s,
              youÆd likely see him so compelled by
              the music that he would retreat from
              his piano mid-performance and conduct
              his band, no matter how small or large,
              through an impassioned dance. But
              behind the joyous dance that overtook
              the stage lay the societal struggles a
              jazz musician endured to present that
              90 minutes of musical freedom û a tale
              of police harassment, systemic
              oppression and constant battles for
              equality. Fast forward to 2017 and
              composer-arranger-pianist John Beasley
              is using MonkÆs spontaneous movements
              and experiences as the basis for
              conducting radically reconceived
              versions of the late composerÆs music
              for his critically acclaimed big band
              project: MONKÆestra.
