He leads tight small-group sessions that place an emphasis on interplay, storytelling through improvisation, and faithful yet fresh readings of classic repertoire. Breakstone's approach combines technical clarity with a warm, swinging touch, making him a natural interpreter of jazz standards and compositions from the modern jazz canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release finds Breakstone leading a piano-less trio with Dennis Irwin on bass and Mickey Roker on drums through a set of Thelonious Monk compositions. The album showcases concise arrangements, close rhythmic support, and focused solos over Monk's idiosyncratic tunes, yielding a program that is both respectful of the source material and infused with the trio's collective personality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel: Joshua Breakstone - Guitar; Dennis Irwin - Bass; Mickey Roker - Drums\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotal Time: 63:15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll titles by Thelonious Monk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\u003cbr\u003eLet's Call This\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4:16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.\u003cbr\u003eWork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6:21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.\u003cbr\u003eWe See\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5:08\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.\u003cbr\u003eReflections\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7:25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.\u003cbr\u003eMonk's Dream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8:55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6.\u003cbr\u003eI Mean You\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4:13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7.\u003cbr\u003eRuby, My Dear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8:47\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8.\u003cbr\u003eEronel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5:38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9.\u003cbr\u003eBrilliant Corners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5:53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10.\u003cbr\u003eHumph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6:11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Double-Time Records","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51524120871190,"sku":"134940","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026710185645199scan.jpg?v=1783738214","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/joshua-breakstone-lets-call-this-monk","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
