Monk Bank library, Monk has invariably called it to open the sets. His reasoning--it swings hard and gets you into the spirit of playing music. At the suggested tempo this arrangement is at least medium difficult, but at a slower tempo like medium swing it's a good exercise in the fourth interval for inexperienced players. With 3 C treble clef parts, the arrangement can be played by 3 flutes or 3 guitars. SOLOS: The chord progression is not difficult: II-Vs, successive dominants and I chords.
