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.

Excellent Resource for Jazz Students
This Thelonious Monk Fake Book is a superb teaching tool. The 'easy-to-read versions' are a huge plus for students tackling Monk's unique rhythms and harmonies. While specific fingering isn't always present in fake books, the clear layout and accurate lead sheets make it ideal for teaching jazz improvisation and theory. Highly recommend for intermediate to advanced students.

Essential & Accurate Monk Leads
Finally, a reliable Monk fake book! The 'accurate lead sheets' are spot on, making this perfect for gigs where Monk tunes come up. Chord symbols are clear and correct, and the 'easy-to-read versions' are a lifesaver on a dimly lit bandstand. A must-have for any working jazz musician's book bag.

As an adult learner, I'm thrilled with this Monk Fake Book. It's so enjoyable to play through these 'easy-to-read versions' of Thelonious Monk's tunes. I can really get a feel for the original sound without getting bogged down by overly complex arrangements. It's a fantastic collection for weekend playing and discovering new favorites.
