Blue Monk

This edition is a detailed transcription of Blue Monk as performed by Gary Burton and Makoto Ozone, based on the album Face to Face.

The transcription captures the musical interaction between the two performers, with a focus on formal clarity and the transparent musical dialogue between vibraphone and piano.

With its moderate tempo and clear structure, Blue Monk serves as an ideal entry point into the duo transcriptions.

Chord symbols and section markers provide orientation within the form and may serve as a basis for individual improvisation.

The edition includes a full score as well as separate parts for both instruments and is equally suited for rehearsal, performance, and analytical study.
