Really nice solo over Bemsha swing, a composition of Thelonious Monk and Denzil Best. The tune is also known as "Bimsha Swing", because the word Bemsha is a re-spelling of "Bimshire", a colloquial nickname for Barbados, where Denzil Best was born. It is a 16-bar tune with an AABA form. The first 4 bars inthe A section is essentially in C major but borrows tones from the parallel C minor scale, and is transposed up a fourth to create the B section of the form.

The PDF contains the music sheet for C instruments and the TAB for guitar. You can download the Musescore file (.mscz) too.
