released January 1, 1999

Filiaal 3
Recorded at Studio M, Amsterdam
December 1998

"Scheens lovely obstinate interpretations of Monk-classics can be heard tonight on Radio 4. To appreciate them, the listener should release his conception of the original versions. If he can do that, there is much to enjoy. And to laugh! ... His interpretations sound surprisingly contemporary: maybe Monk nowadays would have played them like this. An integer, humorous and imprudent cross-over of jazz and contemporary dance-music." (VPRO-magazine)

"99% of Dutch releases can't compete with this CD ... When you stop dancing and start to listen close, you hear how extremely funny and smart it is made ... a strange melancholic optimism that hiphop sometimes has - it's like furious joy." (Rebound Magazine)
