Mingus' elegy for Lester Young, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.
@tedgioia says its easier to play if you know it's a blues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxz9eZ1Aons … -
Parker's Mohawk, be-bop yes but a clandestine 12-bar-blues (like Relaxin' At Camarillo). Love the young Monk's solo.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0ttQZ-QaNE …

Coltrane's Equinox. Here the blues form is closer to the surface but it's so overwhelmingly Coltrane, I missed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m2HN2y0yV8 …

Straight No Chaser is angular modernist Monk–also a 12-bar-blues. What a wonderful form, we're so lucky to have it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVb9e1DgKJ4 …

Thanks for the rec, I wasn't familiar with it!

One of my favorite albums!
