Well You Needn't

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well You Needn't is a jazz standard composed by Thelonious Monk in 1944.

Like another Monk standard, Epistrophy, it is notable for a chord sequence in which the root note moves by semitones.

As well as by Monk himself, versions have been recorded by Miles Davis (on his album Steamin'), Herbie Hancock and many others.

Lyrics were composed by Mike Ferro in the 1970s.
