Comprising Javier Red on piano, Dan Thatcher on bass, and Tim Davis on drums, the trio presents a performance centered around Thelonious Monk's compositions. They skillfully meld Monk's distinct rhythmic nuances with their own improvisational styles, creating a captivating musical experience.

"Ephemeral Certainties" was selected in the 2019 NPR Jazz Critics Poll. They recently released "Life & Umbrella," praised by publications like Chicago Reader, Jazziz, and All About Jazz.

Daniel Thatcher, a versatile bassist/composer/improviser, has been a prominent figure in Chicago's music scene for nearly two decades. He leads ensembles like Waterwheel and Storytime and collaborates with various original music groups.

Tim Davis, a skilled drummer from Kansas City, has been a fixture in Chicago's jazz scene since 1992. He has performed with notable artists and contributed to recordings such as Curtis Fuller's "Up Jumped Spring."
