Laurent de Wilde: Coming on the Hudson (New Monk Trio, 2017)
The original tune is an absolutely great (but rather unkown) gem. I think that Laurent de Wilde made it even better, with his backward and extended progressions.
He explains: "Monk has an imitable way of starting to build on a harmonic movement, and then abruptly turning to something else. On this arrangement I wanted to extend the symmetric progression of the chords at the beginning so as to delay this change in direction for as long as possible. […] And the comes the bridge, a real saw going through your head; hearing it once wasn't enough for me so I made a loop of it and asked [drummer] Donald Kontomanou to improvise over it, and then other things started happening…"
PDF, 5 page. I've also made a 2-pages lead sheet for solo piano, because you'll want to play the tune even if you're alone!
