Easy access to the mind of a genius

This book provides the themes and chords for a large number of Monk tunes. When combined with listening to the tunes and playing, it provides immediate access to the world of Monk. Highly recommended.

Essential

The book is amazing! The charts are accurate, and the endnotes are insightful. It contains many songs not found in any Real (or fake) book. Every jazz musician should own this.
