SO WHAT'S WITH THE NAME!? This song is NOT about fat monks, it's a reference to two of my all-time favorite pianists, Thelonious Monk and Fats Waller.
This song's arrangement is not pre-thought or planned, but it's IMPROVISED! Much like a set of variations on my melody, I explore the piece in settings of bubbly chords, quick riffs, rolling tempos, and everything in between in what I hope tells a wonderful musical story.
I really hope you love this piece and share it with your jazz-loving friends and family!
Best,
Quentin Walston
