Thelonious Sphere Monk was a towering figure in the story of modern jazz. He was also one of the great originals in all of jazz history with a unique piano style perfectly suited to his visionary approach to composition andimprovisation. He is even better remembered as the composer of some of the classics of jazz: 'Round About Midnight and Blue Monk. For years regarded as a far-out eccentric Monk has now taken his rightful place in the pantheon ofjazz greats. Monk's music is a challenge on any instrument and particularly for fingerstyle guitar. Duck Baker draws on his experience performing and arranging many jazz styles from ragtime to free jazz in attempting tocapture Monk's bittersweet harmonic feeling on the six strings of the guitar. Duck teaches arrangements of Blue Monk Lulu's Back in Town 'Round About Midnight and Light Blue. As a bonus rare footage of Monk performing the firstthree tunes is included from a 1966 concert with his great quartet featuring Charlie Rouse. Duck Baker's ability to clearly explain and demonstrate his arrangements in an engaging fashion has been noted by both critics andstudents of his instructional videos as have his exceptional talents as a guitarist and arranger. The Music of Thelonious Monk Arranged for Fingerstyle Guitar is a unique DVD lesson that only Duck Baker could have put together.

With over 120 pages and thirty-seven of the best known jazz and blues all-time favourites this is the perfect book for the jazz pianist wanting to learn the standards. Specially arranged for intermediate Piano Solo, with chord symbols included, allowing the potential for more advanced players to improvise over the changes and progressions.
