Chuck Bernstein formed Monk's Music Trio in August 1999. Initially, two purposes guided the creation of this group: to perform the compositions of Thelonious Monk and to showcase the talents of pianist Si Perkoff, who Bernstein considers the best interpreter of Monk's music in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since then, the trio has released two critically acclaimed CDs, Harmony Of Odd Numbers, and Think Of One.

With the release of their third CD, the trio has expanded to a quintet for the recording Monk's Bones. Bernstein tells the story: “a sound kept coming into my consciousness, almost on a daily basis. It was the sound of two trombones playing Monk's tunes with the trio. It wasn't just any two trombonists--specifically, it was Roswell Rudd and Max Perkoff."

In the early 1960s, Roswell Rudd and Steve Lacy created the first jazz group (other than Monk's bands) to concentrate on Thelonious Monk compositions. Rudd has become one of the world's leading modern and world music pioneers, performing at jazz festivals worldwide and at leading venues in New York City. Celebrating the release of 'Monk's Bones, this performance with Max Perkoff and The Monk's Music Trio is a very rare opportunity to hear this great innovator in such an ideal setting. About the CD, Roswell says, “Thelonious Monk was quite simply one of the greatest visionaries to ever pass through the planet Earth. During his presence in the human community, he gave us an array of glimpses into the universe of possibility. The musicians on this album are striving to navigate the course set by his sighting, if only to re-explore some of what he discovered. It's a challenging adventure, but we have our hearts, minds, and ears open and no end of passion for this glorious work."
