October 30, 2018 at 7:48 pmDear Chris Donnelly, I blog here at http://beccapulliam.com and just now I posted a piece about the Monk concert at JALC last Saturday night. A 19 or 20 year old named Matt Wong arranged North of the Sunset for the Orchestra. In my blog I show two systems of your transcription of North as played on Solo Monk, citing you as the source with a link. I just now posted this and keep in mind that I don’t really have an audience 🙂 but if you take a look and don’t want the graphic to stay in the post, please let me know. I’ll take it down.
