Edito de Slow PokeSlow Poke was released in 2002, and features six original compositions, two John Lewis tunes ('Afternoon in Paris' and 'Two Degrees East, Three Degrees West') and the Monk classic 'Bye-Ya'. The songs represent a range of musical styles, from straight-ahead, jazz-inflected blues, jazz ballads and waltzes, to latin, funk and folksy grooves.
