EENY MEENY MINEY MO - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"eeny meeny miney mo" was composed by Thelonious Monk in 1945. The tune reflects Monk’s unique harmonic sensibility, with angular melodic lines and unconventional phrasing that challenge performers while delighting listeners.

The first recording was by Thelonious Monk in New York with his quartet, featuring piano-led improvisation and rhythmic interplay. Later jazz artists have interpreted it in both small-group and solo settings.

Structurally, it follows a 32-bar form with characteristic Monk dissonances and syncopation, offering opportunities for inventive solos and ensemble interaction.
