I’m kind of obsessed by the Jazz Standard, ‘Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk. I performed it for my first year Piano exam at University, and have kept revisiting it ever since. The harmony and and phrasing is enchanting and lends to many interpretations. This mix on mixcloud includes some of the choicest picks. I think the Wes Montgomery take is my favourite.
