Straight No Chaser by Thelonious Monk, performed as a slow blues.
This tune is usually approached and played as an up-tempo. That’s the way I’ve always played it in public. But I got thinking this morning that I’d like to do a slow blues to work on my drum chops, so why not this cool blues by Thelonious Monk!
I hope you enjoy! Thanks!!!!
