FULL SCORE
This tonally-advanced Monk tribute begins with individual lines for each member of the ensemble that fit together into a quirky statement of the melody. Then the horns come together and play in more concerted rhythm, but the music's otherworldly quality is maintained through unusual harmonies and permutations of the melodic material.
SOLOS: In contrast to the rest of the chart, the changes are characteristic modern jazz changes full of dominant 7 chords and typical harmonic movement. The changes should be no problem for a soloist reasonably familiar with Monk's music and advanced bebop harmony.

JACK WALRATH (b. 1946). Although he has since recorded many albums as a leader, trumpeter Jack Walrath is still best known for his work with Charles Mingus (1974-79) where he contributed orchestrations to the ailing bassist's final recordings and Mingus Dynasty, which kept the flame alive with alumni like Jimmy Knepper and Dannie Richmond.
