"I tell some of the young kids, in order to be a jazz musician, you have to play a Monk song. You don't play a Monk song, I feel there's something funny about you being a jazz musician. I had to tell one piano player that, he was in Washington. We had to do this Monk thing...he plays one and he had little bits of Monk in there, you know. It was quite odd... because Monk wrote so many pretty songs. I tell you. What's this one?..."

The Cilla

Trumpeter-composer-bandleader-educator-designer Jamie Breiwick dwells in that nether region of America called the heartland. His native Racine is a Warm Valley nestled among several urban musical scenes, which makes him valuable to each of them – Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and Minneapolis. At times he’ll think of that nether region as Dreamland, the imaginative name of the Thelonious Monk repertory band that he founded and leads. It’s named for an obscure Monk tune which, like so much of the legacy of that great and eccentric musician, needs dusting off and raising to the light of day. Breiwick is just beginning to reach his prime and, as a man gifted in enterprise as well as artistry, you can find him performing at any one of those cities in a myriad of musical groups and collaborations.
