"Monk's Dream" is a jazz standard composed by Thelonious Monk; That's the version of Larry Young, from the album "Unity" (1966). The drummer is Elvin Jones.
Why you should practice this song:
- to analyze Elvin's ride cymbal pattern, accenting the up-beats;
- to learn how to play a "broken-time" feel on the ride cymbal;
- this is a great example of triplet feel, widely explored by Elvin. It's also a good way to improve your coordination;
- to learn several ideas for soloing;
- use of rudiments throughout the drum solo;
- use of 3 beats phrases;
- listen to Elvin's various rhythms: there is a good mix between 8th notes, 16th notes and sestuplet. That conceals the structure of the song;
