Solid Monk Chart for Any Book
Mark Taylor's arrangement of 'Bemsha Swing' is a very playable Grade 3 chart. The full score and parts are well-laid out, and the rhythm section parts include clear chord symbols, making it gig-ready. This one is accurate, captures the Monk vibe, and integrates easily into a working band's repertoire. Highly recommended for efficient rehearsals and performances.
