1. Blue Monk

2. Another Monk Tune. Melody is usually harmonized in 10 th ’s. Has a New Orleans funeral march feel. Great set of changes to give you a different blues feel than the previous tunes. This is played rather slow – like a balled. I wrote the whole harmony out. Very good to split the parts. One player plays the top line and the other player the bottom line. Then try as a solo piece – not easy.

3. From the Real Book

5. Counting on this is easy. Count 1 & 2 (&34) 1 & 2 (&34) 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 (& 1 ) (&2) (& 34) Line starts totally chromatic then in the 3 rd measure goes scale wise other than the one skip. Feel is everything on this!

6. Very similar to the 1 st line until the last beat of the last measure on this page. The melody just moves up a 4 th. The last beat is a triplet – play very deliberate and separate each of the notes!!!

7. Last line. Same figure as before. Interesting part is that the melody is the same for both the F7 and the Bb but starts on different beats. The F7 at the end is not played the very last time through the song. Song must end on Bb.

8. Play the whole tune now!
