Summary of This Book
This collection brings together the ultimate selection of classics associated with Thelonious Monk, transcribed with formidable precision, note for note, from his most famous performances. You will find 40 major titles that trace the evolution of his playing and language: angular themes, offbeat rhythmic placements, expressive silences, unexpected accents, and singular harmonies. The collection highlights what makes the Monk signature: a unique way of making a melody sound, densifying a chord progression, and transforming a standard into a playground for invention. Among the pieces included are notably "April in Paris," "Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are (Bolivar Blues)," "Just a Gigolo," "'Round Midnight," and "Straight No Chaser." An essential resource to enrich your jazz repertoire and develop analytical listening skills, whether for working on interpretation, improvisation, or understanding the master's musical choices.
