The Library Theatre is on the lower level of the Hoover Public Library

Tickets are $25 and seating is reserved

Drummer, composer, band leader and vocalist, T. S. Monk

soars and sizzles with a cohesive and driving style. As the

founder and CEO of the Thelonius Monk Institute, now

celebrating its 25th anniversary, he continues the rich Monk

legacy. Picking up drums at the age of 10, touring with the

elder Thelonius, launching into R & B, and then returning

to swing and big-band orchestrations, T. S. has had what

Variety calls “more than a few streaks of brilliance.” Awards

include Downbeat’s Jazz Album of the Year, International

Jazz Artist Lifetime Achievement Award and a spot atop the

Reader’s Poll for Jazz Artists.
