Re: [Harp-L] Blue Monk

[Robert Paparozzi <chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Tom,

Yeah, the twos OB's are pretty exposed....but I've heard it sound pretty
good from some are our senior OB cats....it does feel nice in 2nd...

I also played moanin' in 2nd but I'll give 3rd a try....

Watermelon Man is cool in 2nd one OB, as well as Sandu (clifford brown),
Sonnymoon for two (Rollins), Bag's Groove (milt Jackson) no OB's needed on
these last 3 tunes.Also Cantaloupe Island (herbie).....

Nostalgia in times square (mingus) one OB ez passing tone (2nd as well)


Best & Happy Holidays,
Rob p
