Monk...the supreme jazz architect, and yet so playful...I love how his mind works...this song is simplicity itself (descending semitones substituting circle of fifiths), and yet so hard to play...check out jelly roll morton's "crazy chords" for more harmonies that pull the rug out from under you ;)
