For Monk's Centennial, I delved deep (well, even deeper) into his compositions, style and biography. I just can't get enough of Monk! Here's a transcription of one of my favourite piano intros to April in Paris. As usual, it's done to the best of my ability. It's always useful and important to listen to the recording along with the manuscript. Enjoy!
