Product Details


Product Description

A 12-bar blues in B which, as in "Blue Monk", makes creative use of chromatics in the melody. It was first recorded July 23, 1951, for the Genius of Modern Music sessions, and later appears on Mulligan Meets Monk, 5 by Monk by 5, Straight, No Chaser, and on Monk's Blues. Live versions appear on the albums recorded in Italy, Tokyo, It Club and at the Jazz Workshop.

Miles Davis recorded a version on his Milestones album, in which the tune is played in F rather than B. It has been recorded numerous times by Monk and others and is one of Monk's most covered songs.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
