Timothy Lea: Live From Monks captures a moment of growth, trust, and collective sound in real time. Recorded live at Monks Jazz Club in Austin, Texas, the album documents an unfiltered performance shaped by audience energy, room acoustics, and the natural push and pull that only happens on the bandstand.
Rather than polishing away imperfections, this record leans into them — extended forms, dynamic risk-taking, and conversational improvisation anchor the music. The repertoire moves between groove-centered originals and spacious, late-night explorations, reflecting both road wear and musical maturity.
This release is less about perfection and more about presence. It’s a snapshot of a working group communicating honestly, allowing the music to breathe, stretch, and resolve on its own terms.
