SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION:
While not technically difficult, the phrasing in Monk's loving tribute to his wife will require close attention to get it just right. As the rhythm section doesn't play time for most of the arrangement, good internal time is required from everybody as well as coordination on matters of style and phrasing. This is a great way to work on the more interpretive musical aspects of the music without having to deal with many technical issues.
SOLOS: There are no improvised solos in the arrangement, just a second statement of the first half of the melody by the piano which is finished by the horns.
2nd part: Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, Trombone
3rd part: Baritone Sax, Bass Trombone
Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar
