The music of Thelonious Monk is among the most requested of any jazz composer, but accurate lead sheets and sources have never been widely available - until now. This folio has 70 of the master composer/pianist's most familiar pieces, as well as a number of obscure and unrecorded tunes, in easy-to-read versions. Includes counterlines and ensemble parts for many pieces, as well as bass-lines and piano voicings where applicable. Also includes a biography, a glossary, and a definitive discography of the compositions in the book. Titles include: Ask Me Now * Bemsha Swing * Blue Monk * Blue Sphere * Boo Boo's Birthday * Bright Mississippi * Brilliant Corners * Bye-Ya * Crepuscule With Nellie * Criss Cross * 52nd Street Theme * Functional * Gallop's Gallop * Hackensack * I Mean You * In Walked Bud * Jackie-ing * Let's Cool One * Little Rootie Tootie * Misterioso * Monk's Mood * Nutty * Off Minor * Pannonica * Played Twice * Rhythm-a-ning * 'Round Midnight * Ruby, My Dear * Straight No Chaser * Thelonious * Well You Needn't * and 39 more.

Reliable Monk Charts for Gigs
Finally, accurate Monk charts! This fake book provides 70 tunes with proper leadsheet notation and chord names, which is critical for last-minute requests. The 'C Instrument' format is versatile for any gig. The stated 'intermediate' difficulty means solid, playable arrangements. While it's a fake book, the inclusion of original voicings and bass lines for some tunes sets it apart, minimizing on-the-fly corrections. A solid addition to any pro's library.

Enjoyable Deep Dive into Monk's World
As an adult learner, I find this Thelonious Monk Fake Book incredibly fun and rewarding. The 'intermediate' level offers a great challenge without being overwhelming, and the 'easy-to-read versions' make learning enjoyable. Exploring 70 of Monk's Bebop tunes, complete with hints of his famous voicings, really helps me get closer to 'sounding like the record.' It's a fantastic way to relax and improve my jazz playing.

Monk Fake Book delivers as promised
I got two copies of this, one for a friend. We are enjoying it very much because the editors did their research. I appreciate having the original Monk chords on Well, You Needn't instead of those in the Real Book. I also like how some arrangements are partially written out, because you just can't play Monk Monk's way from regular lead sheets.

Melodious Thunk Real Fake Book
I like Monk's music, and I can already play two of his tunes. I learn a lot from his voicings which I then pump into my solos and arrangements.This book is great; I liked the price, the service and the careful packaging which meant the book arrived in pristine condition, all the way from the U S of A to Australia!
