Reviewed: 2018-04-02 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: The title of Andy Statman's CD, inspired by Bill Monroe, may be Monroe Bus, but we are really on the "Statman Bus" -- with the spirit of Bill Monroe riding shotgun. Be sure to buckle up -- with Statman at the wheel on musical highways, it's hard to keep the bus in a single lane.
