Yo B-dogg. It’s Tim Monaghan from Loeb Hall. Remember me? So, I’m an elementary school music teacher now, and have gotten WAY back into piano practice. Is there a full transcription of this piece somewhere? I’m totally good enough to read and play it: I do Bach inventions, Reverie and Arabeque No. 1 by Debussy, and a smattering of easier Chopin stuff. I’ll pay you whatever for the full transcription of everything Duke plays on the record, on this track. My piano ear isn’t like my drum ear, but I can READ on piano. Hope you are well brother!
