From jazz legend Thelonious Monk, here is one of his best-known tunes in a playable yet authentic setting for combo. Written in a moderately slow swing style, this one is great for soloing.

One of the all-time great tunes by jazz legend Thelonious Monk. This arrangement by Michael Sweeney is an authentic adaptation using the original key (Bb) and preserving Monk's unique rhythmic phrases. The chart opens with a trumpet/tenor duet, however there is plenty of tutti ensemble playing and flexible solo sections over blues changes. This one is a must. Enjoy great flexibility with the Easy Jazz Ensemble series! Playable with 4 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm.

3 horns plus rhythm - Grade 4-5. Does not include a guitar part. (Monk)

Monk was a master of composing unconventional and angular melodic lines. John Clayton provides a jagged yet stimulating chart that features dueling trumpets and an exciting full band shout chorus. From the recording Explosive! - Milt Jackson Meets The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.

3 Horns plus Rhythm (Grade 4-5) (Monk)

From the Nine-Piece Jazz Band Series. Scored for: Alto, Tenor and Bari Saxophones, Two Trumpets, Trombone, Piano, Bass, Drums. Optional Guitar and Flute parts.

3 Horns plus Rhythm (Grade 4-5) (Monk)
