Thelonious Monk

piano
1917 - 1982

The album title ��Songs From A Dream�� refers to the last song ��Due to Love�� which was conceived in a dream Adar had in the summer of 2018 of a gospel choir of men and women singing this tune in two voices.

The recording and mastering are a feat of audiophile sound quality with the powerful yet subtle tone of a $160,000 Concert Steinway D piano.

All proceeds from album sales are donated to medical research of Childhood Cancer.
