Pannonica - Thelonious Monk - much anticipated

[Jon the Boat]

I only started bass the end of last year, but I just got to play Pannonica by Thelonious Monk with my mate who is a jazz pianist and lives down the road. He has not wanted to play piano for a while,  but he did suggest it to me as a study piece in January, and we finally got together and did it. We had some wine too. It is a lovely piece with both crotchet and quaver triplets, in C, which doesn't make so much difference to me of course. I have been practicing. I am much moved by the fact that we were able to play together, it is much more intense than casual day-to-day existence, I feel very lucky to have finally found something that I can present to other people.
