Round Midnight - Thelonious Monk


-----------------------------------------------


arranged by Howard Wright
H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk

I worked out these chords by listening to two versions of the song
I've got - one with Monk playing solo at the piano, and another with
him and drums, bass, horns etc.

The two versions aren't exactly the same - but I've tried to find
the common ground between them to get a 'basic' arrangement.

You can play around with the chords, jazzing them up a bit, but the ones
I'll give at the start are the 'basics'.

Within the versions I've got, there's a lot of variation in the chords.
Especially Monk's playing at the piano - he seems to love adding flat
5ths to every other chord !!!

In fact, if you want to increase the 'Monk factor', instead of playing
straight 7ths, play 7-5 chords instead.

E.g in the intro chords instead of : Am7-5 D7 Gm7-5 C7 etc

You could play : Am7-5 D7-5 Gm7-5 C7-5


Intro :


--------


[Am7-5] [D7] [Gm7-5][C7]

B---4-6-8----8-6----8-6-7------------2-4-6----6-4---6-4-5------|

B--0-2-4----4-2----4-2-3------------------------------------------------|

G--13--------------------------------------11---10----8h9----------|

E------------------------------------------------------------------|


Verse 2 :


----------


Almost exactly the same - but play Gbmaj7 in the 3rd line
instead of Ebm

[Ebm] [Ebm/D] [Ebm/Db] [Cm6] [Abm7] [Db7]
[Ebm6] [Bm7] [E7] [Bbm7] [Eb7]
[Abm7] [Db9] [Gbmaj7] [Ab7-5]
[Cm7-5] [F7] [Bb7-5]

One small variation you can try is on the second line of chords.
Instead of staying on Ebm6 then going to Bm7, you could try this :

[Ebm6] [Ab7] [Bm7] [E7] [Bbm7] [Eb7]

The rest of the song repeats these chord changes - but breaks them up a bit
and varies them as the solos go over the top.
