Hot take: if your date was in the audience, you wouldn't call a lot of popular Monk tunes
Yeah I know the point of playing jazz isn't to impress anyone, but let's be real
Blue Monk, In Walked Bud, Rhythm-a-ning, Bemsha Swing, I Mean You
Those heads are fuckin ret*rded unless you play them in a really understated 2nd Miles Quintet-esque way
Otherwise it'd be p embarrassing ngl

How is it that one chord can be out in every key??
Well, as long as you're southwest of C major in the circle of fifths.

Maybe you play it inside first then transpose it up a half step.
Yeah I never did that... but I'd probably be better off now if I had
