Knots

by Kevin Norton

Overview

Kevin Norton's 1999 album, Knots, marks his debut as a bandleader, playing his own compositions as well as those of Thelonious Monk. Like Monk, Norton's playing and composition emphasize rhythm, but the clean, spare lines of his playing and his improvisational skills have their own distinctive flair. Songs like the title track and "3 Movements" are open to many interpretations and offer new aspects each time they are heard. ~ Heather Phares
