Round Midnight

Composed by Thelonius Monk, this is one of his biggest jazz.

Notes:

• There's moving melodies even in places where it's very somber (the Trombones will fall while the piano holds out a note in their solo)
• You hear a lot of dissonance in the playing by Thelonius's melody
• The rhythmic part is replicating that of ticking time, speeding up and slowing down.
• "Jagged" maybe is how you describe. It almost doesn't sound like Bebop (Bop). Very idiosyncratic.
