Misterioso/Cleveland Watkiss/Toni Kofi/Orphy Robinson/Jean Toussaint/Rowland Sutherland/Antonio Forcione/Byron Wallen

A night of music and readings inspired by Thelonious Monk's self-imposed seven-year silence, maintained until his death as an act of protest against the oppressive McCarthy era. With readings from his innermost thoughts - voiced by Cleveland Watkiss - interspersed with music from a superlative cast of top UK names and poetics from acclaimed Italian satirist, Steffano Benni, this should be a thought-provoking and entertaining evening.
