We Will Make a Home for You is an album by jazz pianist Pandelis Karayorgis, which was recorded between 2002 and 2003 and released on the Portuguese Clean Feed label. It was the debut recording by mi3, a trio with bassist Nate McBride and drummer Curt Newton. According to Karayorgis, he plays Fender Rhodes partly out of necessity, since the Abbey Lounge had no piano, and partly out of curiosity for the effect it would have on the music. The album includes covers of pieces by Thelonious Monk, Hasaan Ibn Ali and Eric Dolphy. [1]

Pandelis Karayorgis is a Greek-born and Boston-based pianist, composer and educator.

Clean Feed Records is a jazz record label founded in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2001.

Thelonious Monk American jazz pianist and composer

Thelonious Sphere Monk was an American jazz pianist and composer. He had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington, which is particularly remarkable as Ellington composed more than a thousand pieces, whereas Monk wrote about 70.

Reception

The All About Jazz by Mark Corroto says "The inside/outside take on music, especially Monk, is served well by Karayorgis' use of distortion and wah pedals. This now seemingly very old-school sound get a boost with all the effects laid down." [2]
