Great to hear this. I printed the pdf in work, must have a go at it over the weekend. I think Sid Jacobs might have a Monk for guitar book like his Bill Evans one
@@Mikkokosmos Ah must be my mistake. One of the review quotes on the back of the Bill Evans book talks about him translating both Evans and Monk for guitar, but maybe he never did a Monk book
What a treat... a look at chord melody arrangement... on a Monk tune!!! Really great insights, approaches and advice. 'Round Midnight was an excellent choice, a tune that's been played so many different ways. Please do another piece from this book (which I now need to purchase!). Wishing I could become a patreon member, but times have been tough since the pandemic. Thanks so much as always! Take care and stay safe. P.S. Are you aware of the book "Charles Mingus; More Than A Fake Book"? Put together by Andrew Homzy. I played in an ensemble directed by Andrew, where we played exclusively from this volume. It's an excellent look into the music of Mingus which goes into great detail. Highly recommended.
I'm not aware of that book. I am however aware of Andrew Homzy. I have played with his daughter Aline in a group called Les Petits Nouveaux for many years.
@@Mikkokosmos Cool! I don't personally know Andrew Homzy's daughter, but have heard about Les Petits Nouveaux. I met Andrew through his teaching at Concordia University in Montreal. He also transcribed and arranged Mingus' last composition "Epitaph" from the hand written charts provided by Sue Mingus... which weighed 13lbs on the bathroom scale!!! It has been performed by the group Mingus Dynasty. As for the book, I think if one was to work on one piece, it's well worth the price. It's the most in depth analysis of the music of Charles Mingus I've ever come across. I'm pretty confident that you would enjoy perusing its' pages. I know it's still available at amazon dot ca for about $30CDN (published by Hal Leonard).
Another Monk tune in "alternate" form is "Well You Needn't." Actually, Miles Davis changed it into the version I see in many fake books, with a changed melody. I like it in the original Monk form.
Marvelous.. Reminds me Wes´ treatment of this tune.. here: ua-cam.com/video/MOm17yw__6U/v-deo.html Where does his version stand, in your opinion ? Thanks.
I used to play music, watching your videos reminds me of how fascinating it is.
how cool is this one.... a great sunday treat for me today. Thank you
Glad you like it 👍
incredible lesson Mikko
Your arrangement sounds so good and lots of great insights here, thank you so much!

He does!? 😮 if so I gotta check it out
There is a book called "Monk for guitar" but I don't think it's by Jacobs

Great lesson, thank you so much! Have you heard the Baden Powell's 1971 version? What do you think of his changes?
@@LucasKazakevicius interesting! I have not heard his version. Gotta check it out 🤓

Another great lesson. What is the run played at 14:30? I really like the sound of it!
I think it's just a Maj7 arpeggio?
Monk was brilliant!

Yes that's true. I remember being confused about that.
Just watched this again Mikko - Monk lived in a different world to the rest of us!!! 😂😂😂
Hi Mikko !! I will like the transcription please!!
Great 🙂 you can get it by becoming a Patreon. Link to my Patreon page in the description
This sounds great. Is it just the Quilter with his own reverb?
no I'm using a Boss RV 6 reverb
