| I've been having real difficulty in soloing on this piece. does anyone have any ideas on how to approach it? the chords for the first part are: Fm7-Bb7-CM9|CM9|Dm7(b5)-G13(#11)|DbM7-C-Cb|Bb7-A7|E7(b9)-Eb7|Dm7-E9sus thanks | |

| Most players, including Monk, approach this tune as a rubato. Also, on the Monk/Trane recording, they didn't really stray from the melody much on the solos. | |
