	The Redwood Jazz Alliance presents… Scott Amendola’s “Plays Monk” Trio Thursday, September 27, 2007 at the Morris Graves Museum of Art Drummer Scott Amendola (Charlie Hunter, TJ Kirk, Madeleine Peyroux), clarinetist Ben Goldberg (Tin Hat Trio, New Klezmer Trio) and bassist Devin Hoff (Nels Cline Singers, Good for Cows) put their own spin on the work of legendary pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. “Jazz musicians of Amendola's age, disposition, and talent are anything but rigid when it comes to interests and influences…As a drummer, Amendola has a great sense of dynamics, and is always deep in the groove. He's a percussionist who seemingly can't help being funky (quietly or exuberantly) no matter what he's playing.” —All Music Guide www.scottamendola.com www.myspace.com/playsmonk Tickets will remain $15 General Admission and $10 for students & seniors
