1. Straight No Chaser Monk tune Easy looking at first but time makes it a bit challenging. Ideas can be used elsewhere. One of my favorite tunes. Chords like last 2 songs.

2. From the Real Book. This is the jazz music Bible. There are a number of Volumes but this is in Vol. #1. Which is the most used.

4. Do entire piece in 10 th position 1 2 3 4 & 1 & 2 (& 3) & 4 & 1 & 2 (& 3 4) Look how the repeated line starts on an entirely different beat – then the end of the phrase – so cool!

5. & 1 & 2 (& 3 ) & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 2 nd lick Notice the playing with time on all of these! Again cool!

6. 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 ( & 1 2 3 4 )

7. 1 & 2 & 3 (& 4) & 1 & 2 (& 3 ) & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & For this section just watch the timing as it seems to turn on you. The held note in the first measure is on the and after 3 and in the next measure it is on the and after 2. The last measure is all 1/8 th notes so that should be easy from a timing standpoint!

8. 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 (& 3 4 ) (12 34 )

9. Now finish it off!

10. One for you on your own Au Privare is another 12 bar blues in F. Not all that difficult but has some great lines in it. The chord changes are more modern than the others we have looked at. But very doable. Gives a good movement and bridges traditional bebop with blues bebop. Harmony is more advanced. Lots of II V’s in this. Note the Bb7 then next measure is Bbm7 to Eb7 back to the F. This is really a nice voice leading tool. This change really adds interest to the tune and hides a bit of the 12 bar blues.
