Friday the 13th

I chose to listen to this song at first because it's interesting name. However, after listening to it I realized that it was a pretty good piece, so here I am writing about it. It is fairly upbeat throughout and is fairly length, clocking in at 9 and a half minutes. Monk opens the song in his signature style with a short, melodious piano solo. The sax copies the solo rift and repeats it at various points throughout the song, as if it is the piece's melody. The piano and bass comp for a short while until the song proceeds into the sax solo. The solo is very light and quick-paced. Monk follows with a solo of his own. As usual, he does more with space and silence rather than filling the sound with rapid succesion of piano notes. Towars the end, the sax comes back in and comps fairly well. The sax has another minute-long solo, and then the song comes to a close.
