Monk
Just for people who are as lost about this book as I am I researched the author and he is an editor for many jazz fake books so that would lead one to believe that this is a fake book of Monk tunes. I own a Monk fake book, but it's a copy of a copy. But I'm pretty sure this is the one my copy came from.

too much money, not enough monk
well first off you'll probably notice that there is no concrete description of the book's contents. and you'll probably think to yourself 'there's no way they'd make me spend that much for a book of measure numbers and (simplified) chord names without throwing in at least a few transcriptions of solos.' ironically, you would be wrong, were that your thought. yes, this...

By J.M. (Greenfield, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thelonious Monk: Originals & Standards (Paperback)
well first off you'll probably notice that there is no concrete description of the book's contents. and you'll probably think to yourself 'there's no way they'd make me spend that much for a book of measure numbers and (simplified) chord names without throwing in at least a few transcriptions of solos.'ironically, you would be wrong, were that your thought. yes, this is a fake book. fine for improvising over, since it gives you pretty bland transcriptions of the melodies and the chord progressions. but don't expect to have any closer glimpse into the music of monk. this will not let you see what notes monk plays, won't let you see the true craft of the pianist. i had hoped this would turn out to be something like 'the complete charlie parker,' which is to date the most helpful book of solo transcriptions i've found. this was not even close. it's pretty pathetic how few notes are on the few pages of this book. make sure you see a copy of the book before deciding whether it's worth your while or not.
