Audio Sample:
Edition: Jazz Combo Arrangement (3 Horns with Rhythm)
Description: Swing - Difficult
Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard
The T.S. Monk Sextet's albums on Blue Note display his group's dedication to performing a repertory of modern jazz classics.
SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION
Thelonious Monk's unique compositional voice comes through in this, his own sextet arrangement of one of his most compelling compositions. The unison melody line is interrupted by major seconds, requiring determination and an understanding of Monk's music to sound intentional. This is a great means of teaching more mature musicians the unique qualities of Monk's musical language.
SOLOS: The changes emphasize the cycle of fifths, using almost exclusively dominant seventh chords that either move according to the cycle or down in half steps. Once you understand the underlying logic (after some practice and study), the changes are very rewarding to play over.
