(Level IV) Here's a moody, lush arrangement of Monk's classic "Round Midnight" that features your vocalist. Beautiful chord substitutions and colorful, unorthodox orchestration make this chart a real listening pleasure. Written in the key of Bb minor, this chart was recorded by the USAF Airmen of Note on their 50th anniversary album Key of Db. 8 Brass
