Seventy of Thelonious Monks compositions are included in this book. This is the firsttime all of Monk's compositions have been presented in print together, with many appearing here for the first time ever. Each lead sheet was developed using one of his own recordings as the primary source. The recording date and the original 12"album release credits are detailed above each title. Stereo numbers are used when mono and stereo were issued simultaneously. Compositions without recording credits were never recorded by

Monk. 0f Thelonious Monk's recorded works, only two are not found in this book. They are the improvised works Chordially and a blues, Round Lights.

]{OTES FROM THE TRANSCRIBER The music of Thelonious Monk has long been a source of inspiration to musicians. I myself became familiar with Monk's music through his recordings, as well as from playing his compositions with various groups. Over time, I began to acquire charts, and subsequently transcribe those I didn't have until I had at least put

together a lead sheet for each of his compositions. All of this eventually led to a meeting with Don Sickler to discuss the idea of a book of virtually all of Monk's recorded original works. The goal was to create a book that would have essential melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic information while also being presented as simply as possible. 0f course, when you are dealing with Monk's music, no one approach is going to work

for everything. Nevertheless, the aim was consistency and accuracy. Each composition lists a source recording which is used as a primary reference, though in some instances,

other recordings are used for comparison and clarity, When exploring Monk's music, enough cannot be said aboutthe importance of listening to his recordings, not with the intent of imitating his approach, but as a guide, so as to free yourself to interpret his music as you hear it. (Not to mention the sheer enjoyment of hearing Monk play!) Lastly, these charts are not unlike a map. A map can showyou the wayto a place, but it is not the place itself. The place is the moment the notes are played for all to

hear.

Steve Cardenas

]IOTES FROM THE EDITOR Thelonious Monk's creations provide some of the most uniquely personal sounds in all of music. Hearing him play his own music on his own recordings is all one needs to realize how extraordinary he was. The essence of Monk's music, which can only really be appreciated by listening to his recordings, is what he heard in his head and was able to translate to the piano. This translation required him to develop an

unorthodox hand approach (possibly you have seen pictures or videos of him playing) to get the precise sound he wanted from each note on the piano. Combine this with his unique rhythmic approach and unconventionalmelodic vision, and it's easyto see why his recordings have become singulartreasures in sound. Everyone in music should try to create their own sound. Monk was certainly o¡e of the most successful at that, since it seems to me impossible thatanyone willever capture his piano sound and rhythmic language! By presenting these C, Bh and Eb editions we hope to provide a guide so that you can start to explore Monk's wonderful original compositions yourself .

Don Sickler

The Notation Guide, stafting 0n page 80, contains more information about the notation we've used, along with some specifics about the individual lead sheets.
