As often history taught to all of us, music is an art form that, through the centuries, was and it's still designed to these days to inspire creativity and to carry within either high energy or calming feelings to human beings.

Music, as many other artforms, requests an enormous passion, commitment and love from those who make it and the story of a British band formed in 2024 called KillerStar, it certainly contains all those elements in their most heartfelt forms.

Guitarist, singer-songwriter and keyboardist Robert Fleming and drummer James Sedge, both bonded by a long-term friendship and musical camaraderie, decided to join forces, back in 2023, in a new project called KillerStar, a project that would incorporate their passion for Rock with different layers of sound. Fate made possible that one of their friends, the talented singer Emm Gryner, someone who had worked with the late great David Bowie in 2000, introduced to Fleming and Sedge a huge array of first class American musicians that worked with Bowie too through various decades, like Earl Slick, Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Gail Ann Dorsey and many more.

Some of said tributes have been, at times, very respectful of Monk's enormous music catalogue, some other times more imaginative and creative, two aspects that Thelonious Monk would have certainly loved, given Monk's innate tendency to go totally free-form in his playing style, on lots of the pieces the American Maestro composed in his exceptional career.
