ABOUT THELONIOUS MONKFISH:
We're passionate about ethnic flavors & jazz, and so we’ve branded our unique take on sushi & Asian specialties: Thelonious Monkfish. Nothing warms the palate like an explosion of flavor or the heart like a burst of song! Chef Ginger loves to jam on Asian culinary themes! Her menu reflects both gustatory tradition and a sense of play and innovation.
Live jazz, sushi, and our personal interpretation of Japanese, Thai, Chinese + Vietnamese cuisines are the mediums through which we hope to disperse kindness + loving service. Nestled in Central Square between MIT and Harvard University, we serve Cambridge + Boston's hungry students, professors, professionals, tourists + business people. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, Boston's top jazz performers create a cool vibe on our Jazz Baroness Room stage–one of the many ways we aim to enhance your dining experience!
ABOUT BRIAN FRIEDLAND:
Composer/pianist Brian Friedland’s music displays relentless creativity and deep musical thought through a large body of works for jazz and chamber ensembles. His recorded works include music for chamber orchestra, big band, strings, brass quintet, saxophone quartet, prepared piano, and various sized jazz groups, influenced by genres ranging from the classical avant-garde to Balkan folk music. His current projects include an ongoing series of comedic songs inspired by commercial products, childhood poetry, and spam email; “Rhombus,” a six piece band fusing jazz, rock, and Balkan music; “The Keydrum Project,” a quartet that blends sonic exploration, pop covers, and keyboard drums; and writing for jazz trio, tentet, and big band. He has released two albums and performed his original music at the Lima Jazz Festival, the Cole Porter competition, on tour in Korea, and many Los Angeles and Boston venues. In 2011, Friedland participated in the prestigious Banff International workshop in creative music where he studied and performed alongside jazz greats such as Dave Douglas, Geoff Keezer, Robin Eubanks, and Donny McCaslin and the band Kneebody. Friedland’s music has been praised by acclaimed composer/performers Dave Douglas, Jerry Bergonzi, Kim Richmond, and Frank Carlberg and jazz critic Scott Yanow. In addition to being an active composer and bandleader, Friedland is also in demand as a freelance pianist. He has toured with the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Il Divo, and recorded on several creative music projects including an album by Grammy nominated composer Kim Richmond. Friedland has studied with jazz composers Vince Mendoza, Kim Richmond, Ken Schaphorst, and Frank Carlberg and pianists Shelly Berg, Allan Pasqua, and Danilo Perez. He has a master’s degree in jazz composition from New England Conservatory and a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance from the University of Southern California.
