Audio Sample:

Edition: Jazz Combo Arrangement (3 Horns with Rhythm)

Description: Up-Tempo Swing - Medium

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

The T.S. Monk Sextet's albums on Blue Note display this group's dedication to performing a repertory of modern jazz classics. The three albums feature works by Monk's father, pianist THELONIOUS MONK, one of jazz's most original composers. There are also works by trumpeters IDREES SULIEMAN (who worked with Thelonious Monk and Coleman Hawkins) and TOMMY TURRENTINE (who worked with Jackie McLean and Max Roach), and another great Jazz Messenger pianist, WALTER DAVIS, JR. who has his own album on Blue Note. RONNIE MATHEWS, pianist with T.S. Monk, has recorded albums with Freddie Hubbard, Max Roach, Roy Haynes, Louis Hayes and Sam Jones, as well as his own albums as a leader.

SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION:

  • 1st part: Trumpet, Alto Sax, C treble clef
  • 2nd part: Alto Sax, Tenor Sax
  • 3rd part: Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trombone
  • Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar
  • FULL SCORE This Kenny Dorham classic is full of challenging off-beat rhythms which - especially at the recorded tempo - require a precise sense of time from every member of the group. SOLOS: These F minor bebop changes are very playable, proceed naturally, and will benefit players of all levels who will be able to apply their facility with these changes to many other compositions.
