Just a Gigolo

[ignaciot]

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if anybody has ever tried to play Thelonious Monk's version of "Just a Gigolo" to ask for some help. There is an arpeggio of 11 tuplets (sorry, not sure if this is how you say it in English) played extremely fast (the very first of these that appears on the piece) that's driving me crazy. I wonder if:

- it's supposed to be played with the RH only (there's just a silence on the LH on that part, but all the notes are displayed on the G clef)
- if that's the case, if anybody knows what the most efficient fingering sequence would be... I tried several but can't really accomplish the required speed with any of them.

If anybody is curios and it's OK with the forum rules, I can scan and upload that staff containing the arpeggio.

Thanks!

This is probably the most obscure piece I have ever heard of.
You should be fine if you just upload a short section
