Monk & Overton

[danasgoodstuff]

I really like the charts Overtone wrote for Monk, am I wrong in remembering there was a third set written after the two concerts that were recorded.  This later set may not have been recorded but survive?

up for an answer, I hope.

There might be some info on that in all the research that's went into The Jazz Loft, where Overton lived, and the Monk Big Band rehearsed. They have a web site where they have recorded interviews with the people involved in that scene, and there's a lot of dope on HO. 

His piano playing never struck me as anything special, but his 'serious' compositions are very interesting, especially his String Quartet in One Movement.
