about

The first single from a forthcoming solo guitar album of Thelonious Monk music by the vaporous "freak folk-jazz" (Vulture, 2019) project of the guitarist "Uncivilized Tom (Csatari)", is a flute-acoustic-guitar duet take on the seminal Monk tune "Blue Monk," which the pianist Marcus Roberts described "sounds like your grandfather sitting on the porch making sure you aren't going anywhere too far" (The New York Times, 1997). The flutist Tristan Cooley — a poet and scholar based in Vermont — has featured on nearly all of the 5 official Uncivilized recordings, "whose sound ... [is] ... a robust part of Mr. Csatari’s slow, open-throated, semibucolic melodies" (The New York Times, 2015). Cooley slips, dips, and slides alongside Csatari's thwarted, devolved, acoustic guitar plucks, chords, solo rips, chunks, splices and reharmonizations: mirroring with tact and stilted grace — a consumate un-gentleman, of sorts.
