Blue Monk Jel4

One of the signature tunes from jazz legend Thelonious Monk is this quirky and iconic blues! Mark's great-sounding version for big band maintains the medium swing feel and Monk-isms from the original, but he adds hisown stamp of originality with crafty ensemble lines, rhythmic twists, a nd some powerful full band statements in mixed meters. Solos are included for tenor, trumpet and drums, along with marvelous writing for the entire band.
