Bemsha Swing

Series: Young Jazz Classics
Arranger: Mark Taylor
Composer: Thelonious Monk

Using a nice mix of small group playing contrasted with full ensemble sections, here is a very playable chart on this distinctive Monk standard. An alto/trumpet duet starts things off, followed by a statement with six horns plus guitar and vibes on the theme. Also included are solos for trumpet and alto sax.
