Style: Swing, usually played at a medium up tempo. Form: A-A-B-A (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8] Key: Ab Major Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is very conventional, especially in comparison to many of Thelonious Monk's other compositions. The A sections begin on the relative minor and feature the minor cliché of mi - miMaj7 - mi7 before a II7 - V7 leads to the tonic Major. A I - VI - II - V turnaround is then used to generate movement back to the tonic before a minor II - V leads to the relative minor once again. The B section consists of only two chords and moves from IVmi to bVI7 of VImi. The 3rd and 4th bars of the bridge also feature a counter-melody that is almost always played. Recordings: This song has been recorded over 160 times to date. It was first recorded by Thelonious Monk in 1947 on a session for Blue Note Records. He would record and perform it many times throughout his career, with a particularly legendary rendition from the album Misterioso in 1958.
