Oscar Wilde once said, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” Jazz musicians have always known this and have always done their best to stand on the shoulders of giants. While these three musicians are in no way mediocre, they will happily afford every flattery to the great Thelonious Monk.
Here are three friends getting together to pay homage to one of the greatest Jazz composers of the 20th century, Thelonious Monk.
With a wealth of experience and artistry at their fingertips SoundCellar returnees Dave O’Higgins and Billy Pod, together with Luke Fowler have set out to pay their respects to the works of Thelonious Monk and to use his compositions to express themselves and display their veracious talents.
On this special occasion they will be welcoming as a special guest, international guitar star and firm SoundCellar favourite Rob Luft, for a unique performance at The Grasshopper. Rob was recently awarded the 2025 Parliamentary Jazz Award as ‘Jazz instrumentalist of the Year’, which comes as no surprise to our regular audience members here in Poole.
Dave O’ Higgins – Sax
Rob Luft – Guitar
Luke Fowler – Bass
Billy Pod – Drums
