If you want to play Monk's music, this is THE book so far. It is an obvious labor of love and contains many lesser played compositions of one of the most important and innovative composers in the history of jazz. Using this book I presented a concert of modern arrangements of Monk tunes in Lima, Peru. Instead of playing the Monk standards of like Round Midnight I wanted to present a concert focusing on some of the lesser known music: Oska.T, Introspection, Brilliant Corners, Boo Boo's Birthday, Friday 13th, Misterioso, Coming on The Hudson, Jackie-ing, Monks Mood, Criss Cross, Ugly Beauty, and Green Chimneys. This book did not fail me at any moment.
My book arrived with a cover that says "C Edition," but every tune is transcribed in B-flat. Must be an error at the printers.That being said, although I'm adapting these lead sheets for guitar, I find the transcriptions to be very accurate. Lots of myfavorites Monk tunes are here and I'm very pleased with the book.This is a fake book, but it is not like many fake books, such as "The Real Book" because it is more than the melody transcribed with changes.These tunes typically have a transcription of what Monk played for the main structure of the tune, so his unique harmonies are there as well.I like the format. I'd give this book 5 stars if it had arrived in the right key.Great book for anyone wanting to study Monk's music.
This is a well put together compendium of Monk tunes, carefully transcribed and explained. As a tenorman I originally bought the Bb book but the C book has some harmony parts which are worth studying. If you want to get some Monk tunes under your belt, this is a great resource, much more reliable than RealBook transcriptions.
Its an excellent book if you are wanting to begin or progress with Jazz Improvisation.Beautiful book of scores by the master.. and written simply enough for you to play andimterpret in your own way... It shows how he is using simple scales over chords to great effect...Paul Shakespeare
This is totally useless unless you have a Kindle (I assume). The app for Windows / WindowsPhone 8 and 8.1 does not allow printing. The view is unworkable, since it must be made very small to fit the whole page on the screen. Maybe it works better on tablet, but the Windows PC and WindowsPhone experience is a majr letdown.
Very well done in terms of transcriptions, and there are helpful notes on notation and interpretation. Highly recommended for any musician interested in Monk's music, but especially valuable to pianists. There is also a discography included. Way above average as far as fakebook presentation is concerned!
This book is the best! Just the right amount of full score-to-chord symbol ratio. I've checked out lots of Monk transcriptions, and these are the best, as far as usability for any situation.
This book has many tunes that are good to know. Some rhythms of the melodies may be slightly off with different versions. Make sure you listen to the recording if you want to really get inside the tunes. However, the quality and amount of information the book gives you for each tune is way more than any other fake book. I thought it was worth the price. This book came on time for me.
